I hear that it makes the 1s a little more crisp while giving the 0s some extra thump in the low end.

But where are the specs for 'infinite slew rate', 'invisible square wave filtering', and 'zero transmission loss' ? I mean, one does need to be extremely careful when buying technology these days, and I just want to be certain that I'm getting every penny of my $100 per foot cable investment.

The little directional arrow costs $495. But it makes it so much better!

Suckers.

Whoever buy this is a serious candidate to the "most stupid person of the world" awards.

I would feel awkward being in the same room with such person... I mean I feel awkward for the guy who decided to sell this... badly.

Apparently, one of its technical specifications is that it HAS technical specifications. That's important to have with your gaming network card.

Waaaait a minute! That's not an ethernet cable, it's an audio cable. Denon-link. That's actually sending audio and it doesn't have the luxury of checking data as it's sent or slowing the data stream if necessary. Totally justifiable now
