2.46 ft (0.75m) AudioQuest Diamond USB Cable $649.85
actual reviews:
"In a system that costs $2500, you will hear nothing from this cable. In a system that goes for $25,000 you will hear a massive difference between this and a stock USB cable for music going into a USB DAC. My DAC alone is a $3500 piece. My Amp is $20k. My Speakers are only $3k and my speaker cables are around $1400." and
"an Electrical Engineer so don't talk to me about nut understanding digital signal processing."

Don't forget the $2,500 matches to light them.“And you should pay $22,500 per pack.”

It is endemic among audiophiles.Welllllll . . .
I'd say the high-end rags got some 'splainin' to do.
"The open palm of desire wants everything."It is endemic among audiophiles.
Decades ago, audio equipment manufacturing consultant Dick Pierce noticed high-end digital equipment with design problems and SPDIF interconnect systems.
At some point performance is good enough forthe average Joeeveryone.

Designed from the ground up for network audio
Typical IT network switches/routers are designed with the sole purpose of taking data from A to B with a noise floor and precision that is "enough" for the rate of transmission. This is fine for data networks but when sensitive components such as DACs and Pre-Amplifiers are involved, it will have an audible impact on sound quality
Highly amusing thank youOh of cause...
The Etherregen is a bargain, enter the $3500 100mbs audiophile switch.

This reviewer gets it:Don't worry it comes as a pair:

So much BS and snake oil in one place this brand and all the marketing crap on their website is criminal. They offer a $2,500 power cable that has been cryogenically frozen - "Deep Cryogenic Treatment to -300F Cryogenic processing alters materials at the molecular level. This permanent, irreversible process releases residual stresses, and alleviates the negative effects of crystalline grain boundaries in copper and brass. Cryogenic treatment effects a measurable reduction in the cord's resistively for improved current flow. The result is less distortion, which impacts all performance attributes, but particularly resolution." Wow!!! Get yours today!!! https://www.essentialsound.com/essence-power-cord.htm
Right? It's like has anyone who buys these esoteric power cables actually ever seen the romex in their house? or understand the power grid? Or ever taken the cover off their equipment and looked at the tiny little wires in the device itself?So much BS and snake oil in one place this brand and all the marketing crap on their website is criminal.
