RE: Changing internal output wiring of DAC

I was careful to insert the adjective "demonstrable" in my response to the OP. I doubt very much that the change from copper to silver wire would have any measurable effect of any significance, and I am quite sure it would be undetectable in rigorous double-blind testing.

One can see from simple order of magnitude estimates that the effect of a change from copper to silver in a situation as undemanding as a home stereo system would be quite negligible. Also, when one considers the vast lengths of ordinary copper wire that will have been used in the recording studio and the CD production plant, it is hardly plausible that changing the last few inches to silver in the home CD player is going to have much effect.

Of course, if someone is inclinded towards believing such things do matter, then, especially if they spend enough money on the modification, they may well "hear" a difference.
