and your IQ at the same time! Increase your IQ by a factor of 3! YES, I said 3! The secret --- you may ask? The Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable can also be worn around your head bandana-style. I call mine a DENDANA. Ha-ha. By wearing it you concentrate any residual back-EMF, in the near vicinity of course, straight into your head! This has the effect of stimulating your neurons. This leads to an increase in electro-chemical levels in your brain, which in turn, leads to a more intense level of synaptic transmission. Try it --- you'll be surprised. I will go so far as to say that if enough of you out there in Amazonia-land try this, we can alter the course of evolution in one generation.

I had been in the market for a cable such as this for quite a while before finally making my purchase. I immediately hooked it up to my entertainment system, along with my new copy of the Simpsons Movie, but immediately noticed something was not quite right. I went back to the item page and noticed that, while I had foolishly purchased the "New" version, the "Used" version was almost 5 times the price. Quickly constructing a crude Supply/Demand curve based on similar products, consumer review average, and price, I noticed an immediate relationship (more means better!!). I promptly burned my new cable in the center of a pentagram and ordered a used version from Amazon (delivery was a little slow). I have to say, this "Used" cable has exceeded my every expectation. I looped the cable through the center of my Simpsons DVD and dangled it proudly from my 1987 Radioshack alarm clock, just as I had before, but this time I can definitely smell the previous owner.
Well worth the money.

Purchasing the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable has improved my digital audio experience tremendously. I can now hear individual sound waves vibrating at resonant frequencies previously only accessible to a person enjoying twenty or thirty hits of acid. Unfortunately, the unique properties of the sonic vibrations produced by this cable have also opened a portal to a demon dimension in my living room.
The demon creatures that have emerged from the vortex are multiple, and have the most hideous physical features. The sight of one of the creatures is enough to make me physically ill for many hours.
These beasts are both mischievous and malicious, and seem to be attracted to the filthiest things. They have insatiable appetites. I will never be able to forget the terrible and disgusting acts they did to my dog on my bed.
Some of the demons have escaped my apartment and are now roaming the city. I hear their shrieks every night now, from sunset to sunrise. They never ever stop screaming and it is the worst sound I have ever heard.
Everyone in my neighborhood is afraid now. Even the police are too scared to do anything about the "problem with those awful demons".
I have made several attempts to destroy the vortex, nothing works. I have chanted ancient incantations around it, sprinkled black powder into it, and recited Bible verses near it. I even lured my neighbour's three-year old son into my home and pushed him directly into the portal, hoping the small boy would adequately quench the portal's blood thirst. But throwing children into the portal only makes things worse. I have also noticed that every time I use my new Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable, the portal doubles in size.
I have given up hope now, the demons are everywhere. They have turned my life upside down. But I still have my Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable.

It does not fit my CD player's TOSLINK output. I tried re-terminating the end, and that did not help. Well, I still enjoy this cable because it reminds me of how technological advances can bring joy into our lives. I love Denon! Denon makes the best Cat5 cables in the world. It does not fit my TOSLINK, but that is ok. I can live with it.

After reading other reviews I simply had to experience this for myself. After it arrived in a plain cardboard shipping box, I excitedly used my DKF-32 "Customme" Diamond Serrated Box Cutter to part the packing tape. As I opened the enigmatic container, some kind of shockwave erupted from the orifice. It was almost is if everything was going in slow motion. The world had turned into a noir of shades of grey and all sound seemed to be muted. I looked into the container and noticed that the cable had eaten through its own packaging and sat there pulsating, as if color and sound itself was being devoured by the insatiable appetite within.
It was at this point I knew that this cable's power was drawn from the very essence of life itself, and that I could not trade an orgasmic audio experience for the souls of my family and my neighbors.
I knew what I had to. Grabbing a pair of used oven mitts (I had hoped the years of accumulated burned grit, decades of failed meals and smashed hopes encrusted onto these dilapidated housings would protect me for a few precious minutes of holding this cursed object) and grabbed unholy icon from its smoking resting place.
I could feel it eeling its way through my guard but I remained resolute! I quickly ran outside with it to the nearby metered street. As usual, Marge the meter maid was stolidly plodding along writing tickets in much the same manner as she had done for as long as I have existed.
I quickly threw the vile icon at her screaming, "FREE FOR YOU MARGE!" and backpedaled furiously from my headlong rush. The corrupting influence began fading as soon as cable left my touch; a sweet release after an eternity of agony.
Marge picked up the cable and time went even slower. It was almost as if there was a contest of strength, will, and power all combined into a maelstrom of unspent force. The cable attempted to devour all life, energy, and vigor from the uncaring meter maid. Marge was the very force of ennui, the lack of effort, the anti-hero of care. Her uncaring was the perfect antigen as it was the force of order that threatens to consume us all from time to time.
After what seemed to be an eternity, the Forces of true Order emerged victorious as the cable stopped pulsing, its anger and rage spent against the impossibly thick walls of Marge's lack of concern for everything. It fell limply in her hands and she absentmindedly stuffed it in her knapsack, where it probably remains to this day forgotten; a relic of an ancient battle repeated more times than I can count.
I count myself lucky to have experienced all of this and lived. I say to you now, this cable is not worth the risk. If you really need something to jumpstart your life and realize all that can be seen and heard is already worth it without making pacts with infernal powers, THERE ARE SAFER WAYS. Woe unto those that purchase this thing.

The look of complete serenity on the simple face of a sleeping newborn. The smell of freshly brewed, newly ground, free-trade organic coffee awakening you on a Sunday morn. The taste of sweet syrup, recently spewed forth from a glorious sugar maple, atop a heap of buttery pancakes. The feel of a solitary snowflake coming to its final resting place on the tip of your nose as you stand in the midst of a vast, wintery meadow. What else could possibly be on par with these other sensory experiences you ask? The sound of climactic ecstasy which exudes forth from the innards of the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable housed within taut blue and black patterned covering.
A review of this product is difficult as there are no words to truly describe the effects of the AKDL1 on the human being. The only proven method is to order this product and experience it yourself. You say "$500 is too high a price for a cable". I say "can you put a price on perfection?" It is also a dedicated link cable, therefore justifying the price by itself. I stated earlier that there are no words to describe this product, however, if I was told I needed to use one word to describe the AKDL1 or risk living the rest of my life without its presence, I would use this word: Audiblivocalphonismic.
Whilst listening to the sound of new life from the AKDL1 fill the room, I began to ponder "what else could this group known as Denon have in store for us?" I looked more carefully into their name for clues. I discovered by reversing the name Denon it became noned or No, Ned. By "No" they obviously mean "YES!"; by "Ned"? I don't know. Perhaps Ned was an influential figure in the life of the inventor. Thus far I have not been able to locate any secret messages within "AKDL1", but my search continues.
One day another product will come along and dethrone the AKDL1 as the greatest product ever invented, and when that happens I only hope that my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren cherish that day as much as the day on which I received the AKDL1, which was delivered promptly with no shipping issues by the way.
A final note to the reader(s) of this review: I am partially deaf in both ears so your listening experience may differ greatly from mine. Thank you.

I know I'm REAL trouble when my husband untwines his Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable from around his sweat stained waist. "Why you feeding me such dismal signal quality down cheap cabling" he will scream at the top of his voice as the high quality Denon Cable bites into the scarred tramp stamp on my back. "Not the face Billy-Bob" I wail in vain! Another week in the trailer before I dare go out again. This product seems perfect for inflicting pain and torture as well as holding up size 48inch denim trousers but does nothing for audio quality. Trust me I know...

Good product. I'm the person who you see above that has purchased this with the Simpsons Widescreen DVD. Best sound quality ever, and I haven't even taken it out of the package yet (can't figure out where to plug it in, looks like an ethernet adapter to me). Still, its mere presence has really enhanced this movie-watching experience.
