And I thought Monster was funny. So happens I'm in the high-end electronics advertising business, but even I, a shameless ad guy, am embarrassed to see this actually offered for sale. Amazon really needs to remove this item, it's just immoral, and someone just might be gullible enough to actually buy one. I believe that would make Amazon party to grand larceny.

I have got to tell you, this cable really surprised me. The sound quality is truly amazing.
You should have heard the amazing ultra-low frequency rumble and high frequency scream that was emmitted from my ex-girlfriend when she found out that I jacked her PayPal account and ordered 2 of these for her next door neighbor.
For all you Denon-beleivers out there, you should really do the math on what you're buying. Any 20$ digital cable on the planet would be indistinguishable from this in a side-by-side comparison. It's all ones and zeros. Digital is pretty much digital.

Folks, by it's definition, digital is either "1" or "0", "on" or "off", it's not like the cable is carrying ever-so-slightly varying currents to tell your player to play this flute note with the utmost of clarity. No, it's just "ON" or "OFF", over and over, extremely quickly. The other posts are rightfully making fun of this product. Get a far cheaper digital cable and you'll get the absolute same quality of sound.

There is no such thing as a "quality" digital connection. This product description is astonishingly misleading. You can get the exact same connection from a $5 digital cable.

A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews.
I was disappointed. I consider myself an audiophile - I regularly spend over $1000 on cables to get the ultimate sound. I keep my music-listening room in a Faraday cage to prevent any interference that could alter my music-listening experience. Sending any signal down ordinary copper can degrade the signal considerably. While ordinary listeners might not notice, to somebody with even a rudimentary knowledge of sound, the artifacts are glaring. Denon should have used silver wiring (hermetically sealed inside the rubber sheath to prevent any tarnishing, of course), which has a significantly higher conductivity than copper. Furthermore, Denon needs to treat the wires they use in the cable with a polarity inductor to ensure minimal phase variance.
Needless to say, I returned the cable and wrote an angry letter to the so-called engineers at Denon.
