This is why I can never have nice hi-fi toys.... the only things that I could really appreciate now are headphones and speakers.
I kinda regret getting into hi-fi now as I could've done so much more with all that money.

I still don't trust AES papers very much though.

What papers have you been reading? The last time I checked, they charge quite a bit for each paper just to read them....

Just checked the pronunciation of Aquino, I see what you mean.

I've tried a few cables, with substantially little to no difference in sound. I've Tried the FiiO e10 which sounded pretty darn the same as the iPhone 4, and everything else I've heard sounds a little bit different than everything else. The only thing I've heard that made anything sound substantially different was the Palaios wooden amp. 
 
I wouldn't say with much if any certainty about many of these things sounding "better" than the others though.

the fun thing about cables, most claim silver transfer better than copper while neglecting THICKER cables will just work

It's called Iona (pronounced イオナ).
 
Just out of curiosity though, where'd you get yours?

Wow, IKEA has upgraded since the last time I visited many years ago. Caster wheels installed on all 4-sides of the carts and overhead light-illuminated pathway arrows. Fancy!

You haven't been to an IKEA in a long time, have you?
A new one opened in my hometown in 2014 and so far I've been there at least like twenty times.

I stopped caring about fancy DACs, amps, cables etc before I even really got into them.
If you want to have better sound, don't buy borderline snakeoil-ish equipment. Just buy a better headphone/IEM/speaker.

I don't get why people would rather spend money on upgrading their cables and DACs when they can upgrade the heart of their rig(headphones) but I guess placebos work well for some people.

I am more inclined into getting overhead powerlines and trying to make cables from them. ACCC conductors as RCA cables!
