Focal Arche - DAC/Amp - Official Thread

I’ve been enjoying using the Focal Arche with my Focal Clears for a few weeks now and I like what I hear. However I do have a couple of questions I’m hoping someone with better understanding of how amplifiers work like @Torq can answer:

  1. What is the purpose of the phase selection? Why would I want to change the phase?
  2. If as @starmartyr mentioned here the Amplifier setting for the Clear is only changing the output impedance of the Arche, should there be any other audible change besides the frequency response? My research into amplifier output impedance seems to indicate the answer is no.
