You can do whatever you want man. The ncores sound great with or without a case, twisted or un twisted cables, beers or no beers.
Have fun!
Best,

I find that impossible to believe. there has been a previous discussion with Bruno's participation here where he even emphasized the importance of not having the wires exit the golden connectors at opposite sides. it's your right to do whatever you want but people are reading this.
If I remember correctly the reason for twisting was not really that the act of not twisting introduced massive distortion but rather that the NCore itself had less distortion and so you'd have to twist to make accurate measurements.
That, however, does not mean that the average user can hear the distortion caused by not twisting the cables =)

i bought a few of the initial amp enclosures off kraemer and i know that he has exchanged many emails with bruno, heck bruno gave him some tips to get this case laid out if i remember correctly.
I do have my wires twisted together, but i won't doubt what kraemer says that bruno told him.
I doubt it too, but it's something that costs... ummm... nothing? and takes like 30 seconds to do and could bring an improvement. tough call...
I found twisting and routing of cables to be significant in my amps
However, in my (mono block) amps the amp module is directly above the smps with the component sides of each unit facing each other.
Since my original assembly I've also added an aluminium sheet between the modules
In kraemerkid's build the speaker cables route directly away from the psu cables, so I can easily believe there's less of an effect

Yes I did
BUT
I didn't do a direct comparison, so it may be my imagination
The effects or degree of effect, are highly likely to be build-dependent and system dependent
The pictures of my case are shown below. Since those photos
- I've changed the speaker cables and twisted and routed them far better - more directly to the speaker terminals and more away from the SMPS. In fact I've rerouted all the internal wiring far better than shown in the photos
- I've inserted a 3mm Al sheet between the nc400 and smps - it fits in the slots in the side of the case
It's worth having a look at the post I made after I originally assembled them

Thanks.
but, yes, I fully expect Bruno to endorse tuning sticks, not.
Well, perhaps if the bottom falls out of the NCORE business...

I know I've said it before, but after a week with my Ncores back in active service, how they shine with a turntable as source. Stunning, for some reason for me they have great synergy with a TT front end. I'm using an Ortofon 2M black through a DIY phono and then a Pass B1 buffer based preamp.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Yes, volume control in the DAC works for me. If your DAC has 24 or 32-bit resolution, digital volume control (if properly implemented) will be more than good enough for any amp.
ok! But what your mean "digital volume control"? I have analog output from DAC. My DAC connected with USB cable with computer. I could lower volume in foobar2000 music player, but it decrease sound quality.
It's very strange that all NC400 cases doesn't use volume control in case https://www.google.ru/search?q=hype...y4GACg&ved=0CCoQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=601#imgdii=_ .Why?
