These are $500, the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable
"Get the purest digital audio you've ever experienced from multi-channel DVD and CD playback through your Denon home theater receiver with the AK-DL1 dedicated cable. Made of high-purity copper wire, it's designed to thoroughly eliminate adverse effects from vibration and helps stabilize the digital transmission from occurrences of jitter and ripple. A tin-bearing copper alloy is used for the cable's shield while the insulation is made of a fluoropolymer material with superior heat resistance, weather resistance, and anti-aging properties. The connector features a rounded plug lever to prevent bending or breaking and direction marks to indicate correct direction for connecting cable. "
Did you hear that? The purest digital audio. high-purity copper wire. fluoropolymer material. Bam! This is it baby!
Except...
Except that digital communication means one thing: no matter what the quality of the physical link, if the 1s and 0s are transmitted correctly, you get perfect reconstruction. It doesn't matter how good your cables are - this only makes a difference in analog communication.
Of course, it's possible that these cables are durable and resistant to aging and weather and all that crap. But this is for your home - what are you going to put it through. Without a doubt, the cheapest, functional ethernet cables will be just fine.
That didn't stop the geek community from having a laugh, though... people came into Amazon just to post ridiculous comments on the page... there's 22 pages of it.
"After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity.
Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary, and he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within five miles of my house.
Additionally, my cars began achieving 200 mpg and I didn't even need gasoline. I was able to put three grams of cat litter into the tank and drive forever.
What's more, the atmosphere inside my home became 93% oxygen and virtually no carbon dioxide. In fact, I now exhale oxygen.
One heck of a cable.
Didn't notice any improvement in audio quality though.
The $800 Apple iCable is clearly superior. "
