jitter
I have heard dcs Vivaldi with and without masterclock and the difference isn‘t small.  Similarly adding Cybershaft or Antelope clocks to a number of top end dacs (where pos) yields significant improvements. The effect is particularly pronounced in... 
jitter
@erik_squires  Your statement on master clocks is somewhat contestable: interestingly leading dac manufacturers like DCS, MSB or Esoteric offer master clocks for their top of the line stacks. See my comment on the cost/benefit aspects of built-in... 
Horns with good timbre and tonality?
Most pure horn designs require dimensions patently impractical for residential use.  
Horns with good timbre and tonality?
There is a German omni which is horn based: Duevel. Bella Luna and Sirius are world class transducers with superior timbre and aoundstaging. Not well known but very worthwhile exploring for the absebce of shout and pase integration issues of tradi... 
jitter
Jitter results from timing errors both in recording and reproduction. Top studios therefore run superior clock sync. In reproduction clocking (Ocxo or rubidium) can make a major difference if the dac allows for it. This particularly applies if dac... 
Speaker Cable Recommendation
The OP asked for a cable for high efficiency, low current cables. There is really no point in proposing arm thick, high capacitance cables with lots of skin effect. My two bits worth…  
Speaker Cable Recommendation
Get Auditorium23, specifically designed for high efficiency, SET application and the next best thing to buying $$$$ Shindo originals  
When did you put the most effort in setting up your audio system?
Sorting out the digital front end: switches, cables, filters, servers, power supplies, power cables, isolators, USB tweaks, EMI shielding, software…. the better part of 5 years and still only 95% there?  
Why is so much music recorded out of key?
Hmm: having @fuzztone answer this particular question has a certain Je ne sais quoi….  
Chinese Cables that sound good
I use Onti ethernet cable with good results: real value for money with top connectors and shielding. I use a cross braided pure silver ethernet cable from Xangsane between my Etherregen and streamer and the same comment applies.

@koh_i_noor    More of same, since you know better, why don‘t you just ….up?  
USB Cable
@tvrgeek   Have a drink, mate and pls try to relax.

What‘s the point in arguing with omniscient perfection?  
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
The whole idea that quality is measured in pounds…is ponderously asinine.

@knownothing Your moniker in relation to the OP truly rocks!! Nothing like a bit of Sokratean diffidence in these threads.
