AFAIU, the copper nuclei can wander in the direction of the current, if
the current is strong enough. This will have the effect of making the
cable thicker in some places and thinner in others, increasing overall
resistance and decreasing homogenity. The effect is so small it's only
practically

You can do all the clever stuff you like to the power for the NAS, but
it won't make any changes to the data it delivers to the player.
The Touch output is 100% bit perfect, as is are digital outputs on any
other Squeezebox players when set to 100% volume with replaygain and

The hook end captures the wattage, so thats the amp side. Squigly end

The weak link in all this is the ReadyNas NV\+. It is way underpowered
for running SbS. The readynas Pro will be ok in this regard. The rest
of your suggestions are mostly snake oil as the TOUCH will already have
