Experiences with Ghent Audio ICEpower AS series amps?
Sorry I see you were looking for the module to build your own. Has purifi audio quit shipping? I think purifi is going to be coming out with a more powerful one later this year? Just rumors I read on the net so it must be true 🙄 
Experiences with Ghent Audio ICEpower AS series amps?
I have no idea if ICE sounds better. I’ve heard both Ncore and purifi amps but not the ICE amps. Side by side I would never be able to tell which was which they are both very clear neutral amps. Purifi amps are not unobtainable.  
Speaker upgrade question.
Deezer premium is CD 16/44.1 Qobuz has some albums in 24/192 . Tidal uses MQA which is suppose to be 24/192 I believe. I use Qobuz, Deezer has more tracks so like most things it's 6 one way half a dozen the other whether anything over redhook CD i... 
Speaker cables under floorboards - a good or bad idea?
Conduit sounds like a good idea. Save some of the wood then if you ever sell the place you can plug your holes, new buyer will never know.  
Streamers in the scheme of things.
At least I recieved my refund on the  Simaudio and Bel Canto. I tried an Innous as well never heard any difference between these streamers going to the same DAC.  I think with streamers it has more to do with the software and if you like the UI.

I did read their website and the "details" they point out are mostly twaddle. I have listened to a number of digital components. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Now I might not agree with you or with the opinion of a lot of these subject...

Yes if it uses DC power supply the Hertz wouldn't matter.  
Speaker upgrade question.
Your DAC isn't that bad if all you're doing is streaming Deezer from a laptop. If you decide to go the streamer route and try Tidal Hi fidelity or Qobuz hi fidelity you might want a better one.  
Speaker upgrade question.
If you want a speaker that will sound pretty good wherever you sit and don't need perfect placement look at Ohm Walsh. They sell direct an have a long trial period.  
External DAC?
If you lock or set the volume to fixed on the RME can you still use the EQ features? IMO that is one of the best features of this unit.

Like I said if the original music was played in 432 when it was recorded then you're hearing true 432 music. You can download 432hz converters you can change it in Windows player or Audicity as well as others. But you're not getting a true 432hz r... 
432 EVO
If you've never heard of the 432hz conspiracy hoax then I don't know what to tell you. I don't even know where to start with 432hz tuning as it's so nonsensical. Yes at one time 432hz was used of course so was a dozen other Hertz. It was changed s... 
432 EVO
I believe it stores at the native format and changes the Hertz during playback. Seems like a niche product for the 432hz conspiracy folks. 
432 EVO
You can get converters to change the Hertz to 432. Unless the music was played and recorded at 432 it's going to sound off. Anyway it's much ado about nothing.
