Denon AK-DL1 Network Cable
Posted by Pavan Chander | Filed under Hardware, Review
I believe I’m a little behind the times when it comes to this particular product, but nevertheless I felt I had to post something about it.
The Denon AK-DL1 is a 1.5 metre network cable, designed for the “audio enthusiast”. Thus it is expected to have the “Monster Cable-esque” description:
“Made from high purity copper wire and high performance connection parts, the AK-DL1 will bring out all the nuances in digital audio reproduction from any of our Denon DVD players with the Denon Link feature. Attention to detail when building this cable was used by employing high quality insulation, tin-bearing alloy shielding and woven jacketing to reduce vibration and to add durability. Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer. Rounded plug levers help prevent breakage.”
But what really stands this particular cable out is the price, a whopping $499.00 for a 1.5 metre cable. There is something seriously wrong with the industry if they think they can get away with marketing these types of “premium” cables.
