OMG OMG OMG - those are the only three letters on my keyboard I will ever need to use in my life from now on: I have seen the future, and that future is DENON AKDL1!
I received three of these cables in the mail without warning - I came home and they were just sitting on my front step. I never ordered these cables, so I wasn't sure what was going on. I brought them in the house and set them aside while I checked my Amazon account. Surely enough, it had seemed that someone purchased these cables four days prior, using my account. At first I thought it might be fraud, but if so, why were the cables shipped to my house and not somewhere else? So the only other explanation that made sense to me was that maybe Amazon got my account mixed up with some other purchase.
I was in the middle of sending an email to Amazon about this mix-up, when my laptop network cable went dead! I pulled an AKDL1 out of the package and hooked it up between my laptop and router. ALL I CAN SAY IS OMG. I didn't follow the directional markings on the cable. After all, ethernet cable is bidirectional, no? I didn't think it mattered which end I plugged into the laptop. I WAS SO VERY WRONG.
To make a long story short, it appears that IF YOU HOOK UP THESE CABLES BACKWARDS, THEY WILL SEND AND RECEIVE ETHERNET PACKETS INTO THE PAST. That's right! When the cable were hooked up backwards, every website I visited served content from four days in the past. Few examples: Windows Update tried to install old patches my system already had; visiting the WWW clock website showed the date from four days prior; my Amazon.com account didn't show the cable purchase I just mentioned above; all articles from digg and reddit were four days old; no email that I sent or received within the past four days was being displayed by my email host.
When I switched the cable to be connected properly, I started seeing current website content again. What the heck was going on? The only thing I can figure is that maybe the Denon cables pass electrons at faster than the speed of light, effectively causing them to travel backwards in time.
To see if this was really the case, I switched the cables back again so that they would serve content from the past, and I logged into Amazon and purchased three of these cables. When I received a tracking number from Amazon, I compared it to the tracking number on the package I received, and they were identical! So it turns out that I had been the one who originally sent myself the cables, only I hadn't known it because some weird sort of causality loop caused a time irregularity to spontaneously form. I wonder if this causality loop was somehow caused by someone else who had also hooked up the AKDL1 improperly.
Anyways, I love these cables and plan to see what weird effects I can accomplish with three of them hooked up in random configurations. I'm going to try to download some diagrams of a flux capacitor to see if I can make something like that with these cables. I also am going to do a Google search to see if I can submit winning lottery numbers to online lottery sites four days in the past. If so, I should quickly be able to win up enough money to buy a few more of these cables. I'll report back on my progress by sending an email back to myself, telling me to edit this comment with the results.
[UPDATE: These cables do all that I hoped they would, and more. In fact, you better buy them while you can - I have enough money now to buy Denon and discontinue their production facilities. This cable is too powerful to be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.]
My overal opinion - if you have the choice between life-saving surgery or buying one of these cables, buy the cable! You'll be able to send yourself an email into the past to warn yourself about anything that's coming up. Also, you could probably send emails into the past whenever you get into arguments or whatnot with your significant other. That alone is well worth the exorbitant price!
[UPDATE: My apologies to Denon for calling their prices exorbitant. It seems that they too experienced time causality problems with these cables; they updated their website pricing from far in the future, when $500 is worth more like $25 of your present day currency, due to inflation. And as you can guess, my attempts to buy Denon were unsuccessful. They have more of these cables than I do, and were effectively able to out-strategize me.]

I bought this cable hoping to improve my recording of monkeys banging on trash cans - about 15 minutes into the recording I noticed timber of the monkeys screeching and banging did have a little more "you are there quality" I was even able to pick out when the third monkey in the chorus (Jacko) flung some feces at the recording engineer....

All of you skeptics out there have obviously overlooked the most important feature of all - the "anti-aging properties"! YOU can buy $5 cables if you want to, but YOU'LL BE DEAD IN 100 YEARS! Meanwhile I, vitalized by my Denon AKDL1s (I think I'll buy 2, just in case), will be dancing on your graves 500 years from now. Unless I have something better to do.

To those of you who are under the impression that Copper, Silver, or even Roentgenium are superior conductors for home audio use... you are clearly missing the biggest piece of evidence against your theory: Scrooge McDuck.
Did he flow seamlessly through a vault full of Copper, Silver and Unununium? Hardly. The pure and simple truth is that Gold is far superior in the transfer of 1's, 0's, and ducks.
Also, I've recently added a video on Youtube thats shows a simple way to charge your Ipod using only a Bose Cube speaker, a 4' Monster 1000 series HDMI, and a Denon ADKL1 cable. Simply fascinating!
(Spoiler) This experiment can also be done using only the ADKL1, but I felt the inclusion of the Cube and Monster cable would only go to prove to my friends and fellow audiophiles how poorly I manage my expenses.

This is STANDARD CAT5/6 networking cable, NOTHING ELSE. Anyone that buys it is a complete MORON. It can be measured with a multimeter and shown to be EXACTLY the same as regular CAT5/6 cable that is priced as it should be.
If you buy into the audiophile crap about this, you deserve to loose all your money.

I bought this cable for my COBY iPod docking station, and my music has never sounded clearer. It actually sounds better than real life. Since then I've taken to recording conversations and playing them back over this cable because I just can't handle normal sounds anymore. I'm buying another one for my VOIP-o-phone at work so that I'll always sound crystal clear no matter how much I've had to drink. This product has improved my life more than I could have imagined.
I'm still testing out the anti-aging properties of this cable, but I haven't found any gray hairs so far. The instructions on this weren't very clear; I'm not sure if I need to keep it wrapped around my body all the time or if just an hour a day is sufficient.

Wow! I was wondering how my normal copper wires with less impedance, and less resistance could match this copper set.
So I shelled over the 1/2 grand and found out that I can SEE GOD when I play things now.. In addition I see the future and now know the stock market BEFORE it happens!
Thanks Denon, I guess I was a failure as an engineer to believe that normal copper wire I can pay .55$ a foot for was somehow better.
I bow before your superior cables!

I have read just about enough of these reviews. Obviously no one here even owns the product.
Knowing that if I wanted a true end to end Denon solution there really was no other choice. I reluctantly purchased my first AKDL1. I was blown away. I immediately ordered two more so I could use a rotation system of my own design. Now I can be sure that I always have a broken in spare on hand.
Donna Summers and Peter Frampton never have sounded so good. The music may have stopped improving but playback technology marches onward.

I was drinking a hot cup of Hoffee when this cable finally came in the mail. It is so revolutionary, the when the mailman pressed the doorbell, it shattered all the windows in my home, similar to the sonic boom created by the Olson twins' bizjet flying Lance Armstrong to New York. I delicately placed the sanctified spaghetti string between my 1995 IBM Aptiva Pentium w/MMX technology (makes the media player visualizer so much more intense) computer and my 2.5 watt 7.2 Klipsch speaker setup wired around the doghouse. I have never heard sleep-depriving white noise played so accurately, or with such attitude, continuously. It's almost as if pieces of the ethereal Ethernet cable are being pumped through the speaker cones, as if Klipsch and Denon secretly collaborated to design a speaker/cable setup that actually throws gold particles at my eardrums, and those of my beloved but sleep-deprived puppies. I am almost 100% sure this cable was used in David Hasselhoff's Looking for Freedom concert atop the Berlin Wall, the very same show that ended communism in Europe. While listening to the Hoffenschosh's albums, I noted that Hot Shot City is particulary good.

I was going to tell everyone what great quality this cable is, but honestly, I never got around to plugging it in. Since getting it, I just can't stop rubbing it all over my hot sweaty body while touching myself. Oh well, it's $500 well spent. Much better than those Real Dolls!
