Out of the box, this thing instantly impresses. Looks beautiful, feels good in your hand... the copper is pure, these guys did not skimp. We are talking about generous amounts of the most exceptional copper that has been mined from the Earth on the inside, copper laced with fine tin on the outside. You can feel the whole perfect data delivery package pulsing through the fluoropolymer casing. Need to use it outside? Relax: the fluoropolymer material will battle rain, wind, snow and anything else nature can throw at it with ABSOLUTELY NO LOSS of data. No noise will pierce this beautiful armor, no jitter or ripple... nor will time ravage the Denon AKDL1. Best of all, this 59 inch sweetheart will plug seamlessly into any electronic or organic orifice known to man. It even can be used to connect two inanimate objects that exist only in one's own mind and send them careening through a tunnel of filth and sorrow to emerge unscathed on the other side. Plug this into an animal and experience evolution first unfolding slowly... like a beautiful flower... before erupting into a dazzling display of magical lights and indescribable, incomprehensible glory that will leave you weeping with joy. Drag it across a barren patch of soil and see green grass rise up and hungrily lean towards the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable. Place it in the ocean and watch the surface roil as the sky opens and begins to lift millions of tons of water into the stratosphere in mere seconds. Amazing!
Unfortunately, extended exposure to this cable first leads to mild Megaloblastic Anemia, then Curdled Intestine Syndrome... and finally: Lightning Discharge from your pores resulting in severe bleeding.
You can forget about reaping the rewards of listening to 24bit/192kHz audio if you aren't using this cable, yes, but if you use this you and your love ones will be placed in great peril.
For that reason I sadly cannot recommend the Denon AKDL1.

When I recived my cable I installed it to my new computer. I have plug it in my network adapter and my router. As soon as i have plugged it the computer boot by itself. The mouse and keyboard were not working anymore. It booted up with a strange OS that i never heard of The logo was the Devil . then it start to download a lot of thing. Once it has finished the cable just stop gloing. The new cable than unplug itself and started to walk in my room , I hide myself so it wont catch me . But my dog was not so lucky , the cable started to strangle him and killed my dog then the cable eat it like a snake .
I took my axe and cut the cable in two. the cable is dead , my dog too , But i am still alive .
Don't buy that evil cable plz.

The person who reversed the directional markings didn't fully experiment with it to learn of its true effect. Yes, it sounds like music is playing backwards, but have you paid close attention to what's happening around you? It's REVERSING TIME!!!!
Many reviewers have already revealed the secrets of its birth and how they've been imbued with divine powers so I won't go into that, but I played my entire music collection many many times to turn the clock to 2007 where: I made things right with the girl of my dreams; did NOT purchase a house with ARM; took all my money out of my investment accounts which had good gains then; and bet on sports teams as much as I could remember the scores of (they were amazed how I guessed the exact scores of the Superbowl). I've undone all my past mistakes and now I'm happier than ever thanks to Denon the almighty. If they were passing offering plates, I'd faithfully pay the tithe to show my appreciation for the countless blessings it's granted unto this humble soul.
BTW, I told then senator Obama to run for presidency as he seemed unsure even in January 07. I guaranteed him victory, and he finally made up his mind to run in February 07.

We brought this to my daughter-in-law's ultrasound appointment and asked the doctor to hook it up. Not only could we hear the twins (little Delbert and Wembley) chattering away in full stereo, but to our surprise, the video quality was also enhanced. We got full color 600 dpi color prints - a grandma's dream! The kids are now thinking of changing Delbert's name to Denon.

I love the sheathing as it protects the music on its way through the cable and makes sure it stays in there. The plugs do a great job of separating the sounds as well. After installing this cable my book-on-tape mp3's sound like I'm actually reading the book! And music! WOW! I hear it before it begins playing and hits me like a bus at warp speeds!!
Just really a greatly engineered cable! If you want to read your book-on-tapes or have your music running you over before it even starts then you must buy this cable!

I'm a PC... however my Mac is slow... but when I plug in this cable (other end doesn't even have to be plugged in to anything) it started running super fast, like lighting!! I was completely amazed by the power of this cable! So I decided "what if" I stuck it up my *cough*, next thing I knew I have traveled to the future and back with much to tell you all...
First, everybody is running at super speeds. They told me have the cable hang out of your *cough* takes some getting used to (I had no issues), but being able to get out of bed and to work in less than a second was worth it. Everything was using these cables, they replaced power cables with these awesome Denons, telephone lines, cable lines, everything! It's amazing not to mentioned they dropped the price to $2000 ($400 in our time).
The best part is I don't have to be glued to the TV now, I already know who's going to win the superbowl.... HA! Googled it...
So the conclusion is that you should all buy one of these and try sticking it up your *cough*, it's worth it!

Please please, don't do what I did and attach the lead in the manner illustrated. Using the cable in the shown configuration made it into a self-resonating Helmholtz coil which made all of the electricity in the neighbourhood travel in a corkscrew wave- that was trouble for a while, what with light from all domestic lamp bulbs displaying characteristics of Gigantic Red-Shift as observed from a low-Earth orbit spy satellite. I'm not kidding, Google Maps now sees my town as being in the spiral arm of the Andromeda Galaxy thanks to the GPS recursive paradox superposition effect generated in the ultra-pure crystal matrix of the refined copper polycoaxial strands. Good job it wasn't made of simple standard ethernet cable or we'd be in the centre of the crab nebula by now.
This simple oversight was easily remedied however by unplugging the lead and replacing it with the near-identical appearence cable I found near to hand, i.e. the cotton-woven sheath electrical cord attached to my grandmothers' 1950s electric steam iron. And WHOA, do the sub bass flutter notes stop wavering exponentially when the sound comes out of the base plate with the steam setting now tuned to 'Linen ***'

The latest version of the cable comes with a clip-on LCD screen so you can check for bit impurities. Be sure that the model # on the package has a "-2LCD" at the end before opening.
There doesn't appear to be a sure-fire way of ensuring that you get the LCD version, so just keep returning and re-ordering until you get the correct model.
The LCD screen is full color and has 3 modes.
Mode 1: Bit Watcher - this mode allows you to see the 1's and 0's stream across the screen in real time. I can't read binary that fast, so I don't use this mode as much as the others.
Mode 2: Bit Quality - this mode ensures that you're 1's and 0's aren't being interrupted with stray 2's or 3's. It can see impurities all the way to 5, but unless you live under power lines, you will likely never see anything over a 2. If you see a 2 or 3 show up, you can move the cable around until the impurities no longer appear.
Mode 3: Oscilloscope - this mode allows you to visualize the sound data traveling across the cable on an Oscilloscope graph. Simple, but effective for proper calibration of the digital sound bits.

At first I was a bit skeptical about purchasing this cable given all of the reviews. Boy was I wrong! I plugged this cable from my modem to my router and then another one from the router to my PC. I now have no latency at all and in fact, I play 15 seconds ahead in time. Unfortunately my hair has started falling out due to radiation poisoning, but that is a small price to pay to see a glimpse of the next 15 seconds in my PC games!
