Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section.
 
Would anyone mind enlightening me on the definition the following acronyms and terms?
 
DAP
Crossfeed
 
 
I may bump if I have anything new to add. Thanks in advance.

(about intentional crossfeeding)
Can also be achieved with software (DSP ... digital signal processing) like this.

"Finally there is a problem due to the unnatural spaciousness of the sound reproduction and the complete separation between channels which does not correspond to our natural listening experience." Therefore (to improve listening experience with headphones) he developed a crossfeed.

LOD : Line Out Dock - a device for use with a DAP to bypass the internal amplifier and send a line levell signal to an external amp, bypasses the volume control on DAP
 
Turntable: AKA record player or gramophone - a device for playing analog "vinyl" records - popular in the 1930s -1980s - signal held in modulations in a groove.

New one - tube rolling?

New one - tube rolling?

It means changing the vacuum tube on an amp (or any tube based equipment actually) to a compatible tube. Different tube (of the same compatibility) might have different internal construction, so changing tube might change the sound. Tubing rolling is basically where you are experimenting with multiple tubes to find the best sound tube to pair with the headphone / speaker. The 'rolling' part refers to the fact that vacuum tubes are cylinder shape and tend to roll on the table. The same term further extends to 'opamp rolling', meaning experimenting with different operational amplifier chip, though they don't actually 'roll' on the table anymore.

CrossFeed:
An unintentional (poor cables/electronics)  or intentional electronic option to make some of the sound in one channel also heard in the other channel.

Crossfeed is an intentional crosstalk mainly meant for reducing channel separation at low frequencies. You have mixed up crossfeed with crosstalk.
