I just saw this YT video and found it so interesting that I thought to reference it here. Highly recommended background info.
I give John Darko on YT mixed reviews at best, but his videographer definitely knows what she is about. In this video, she travels with Jason Stoddard of Schiit Audio (California here, and Texas). The resulting exposition of how audio equipment gets built is really the best I've ever seen. Schiit is a good example because they are vertically integrated (making much of what they sell), American (English is their first language), and very open to showing 'how the sausage is made.'
Aside: I've been an electrical engineer in the avionics business for over three decades (now retired). I have never seen a better video coverage of how audio electronics are made.
