wat?

 

I always thought with a digital signal it either works, or it doesn't.

 

I need 50!

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

isn't that the same thing with the Powerballance bracellet?
shouldn't these guys be prosecuted for scamming?

 

This reminds me of a review on bt years ago for a shielded power cable that claimed to improve ovrclocking. I can't find it though...

Haha, brilliant. I can see the point in a cable that's a few quid rather than the cheapest possible eBay special that might break, but there's just no benefit to super expensive digital cables as far as I can imagine. I'm willing to be proved wrong (bit-tech test perhaps?), but you won't get double data speeds just by changing a cable.

 

Wait, so installing these in between your hard drive and motherboard can increase audio quality!?

*Cough* Bolloks

I’ve just invented some *insert name of most valuable metallic mineral known to man* necklace that improves the efficiency of the human ear when worn around the neck.

Such advantages include:
1. Increased Bass response.
2. You can actually feel the instrument you currently here in your hand, as if you where playing it yourself.
3. Changes your physical appearance to a likeness of the artist singing/playing.

 

Almost - a digital signal works as long as the SNR at the receiving end is high enough for it to perform accurate error correction.

But yeah, the claims here are utter balls.

 

Apparently these cables even make your dink grow 4 inches...

 

I think the articles timing is off by a week.

 

Not the first to make such claims, nor the last...

I read a bit on some high-end hi-fi site, and gave up due to snake oil poisoning.

dunx

 

Yeah, I'm not sold on those cables.
However, about that bridge...

 

Seems legit.

 

ridiculous cable sales for the win

 

Why so sarcastic . Oh wait, i know why... Because the product itself deserves it . I wonder how long will it take for Monster Cable to sue them for selling overpriced cables (i guess they have a patent for that) .

 

At the risk of being flamed to death, I'd just like to point out that, perceptibility aside, issues such as timing and the "squareness" of the signal (which is analogue when you look closely) can affect the output of devices like digital-to-analogue converters.

That said, I'm highly sceptical about these sorts of products.

 

I'm looking forward to the Official Bit-Tech review and award before I lay out my hard earned..
