Do you think Tesla will offer cryo treated battery packs and inverters just for audiophiles?...

...I would guess not. Oh well.

How to do the DC to AC conversion?

Inverter?

Losses?

  Inverter: probably some kind of switchmode thing w/analog filtering to approximate a sine wave...sorta. The basic technology currently exists and is readily available. I believe most of Honda's small KVA home generators use this technology. i.e. generate at DC and convert to AC.
  
  Efficiency A guess is low 90s for the larger units under load.
  
  The audiophile grade inverter will probably operate entirely in the analog mode similar to a large power amp but designed for one or more frequencies. Or maybe a servo controlled DC motor driving an alternator. Neither very efficient but "no cost is too great when in service of the music."
  
  In the final analysis, the future is difficult to predict accurately even when the stakes are high. Here the stakes are low and so is the quality of prediction.

    Why not use them to supply DC directly to ones amp bypassing it the amps PSU?

      ...tube amps usually require multiple (and sometimes high) voltages and polarities for B+, C- and filament. A sand amp usually requires a bipolar supply. Your refrigerator or AC etc requires AC. Trying to adapt a household battery to both audiophile whims AND the pedestrian needs of household appliances would be a logistical mess. Or to put it another way, there's nothing technologically standing in the way of battery/DC audiophillia today but the practice is far from mainstream.
      - I sense a companion audiophile market for you. Maybe. nt - jusbe 20:13:30 05/02/15 (1)

        Nah, mass produced 120/240V 60Hz (or 50Hz) AC will be just fine for as long as I'll be concerned about it (nt) - Steve O 21:26:08 05/02/15 (0)
