To quote the most helpful review on the Amazon page for the product:
The first rule of digital cables is all of the data is digital. Period. That means the only thing travelling through the wiring is 1's and 0's. This digital data cannot distort in any way. You cannot get better sounding audio by "casting and drawing" the metal wiring. The product description reads like a bad technical explanation on some science fiction B-movie. There is a reason "AudioQuest doesn't pretend to fully understand" how their very own product works. It's because it doesn't. Pure and simple.

Where there is a mass of idiocy there is a way, and there are plenty of idiocy masses about. There is an old saying, "a fool and his money are soon parted".

I can't even tell the difference between 46Khz audio and 192Khz audio... so even if some of those audiophile craps would be for real, it still wouldn't matter for me.

its mostly just self dellusion to be honest
and having really deep pockets >>http://financesonline.com/top-10-most-expensive-headphones-in-the-world-the-best-sound-quality-for-the-highest-price/

i once read an review of a reasonable expensive set of headphones ( around 500 )
and the reviewer complained that the headphone didnt had a mini plug adapater for an ipod

so the reviewer either took the piss or missed the whole point
