$300 is allready a massive rip-off. Even 30$ is on the expensive side. Of 
course I can imagine paying more than 30$ for nice looking cables but not 
for sound! That is just pure bullshit.

As for proving that the claims are bogus ... pheeuuuw. That would basicly 
mean writing a book on how (digital) audio works. That would run into 
500 pages at least. Once you know how (digital) audio works it is VERY 
CLEAR that these product claims are total and utter rubbish.

IT is all BS. Just trust me on this. :)

Much more worrying are all the mainstream audio product developers 
shamlessly marketing and selling 192 Khz sample rates (or 384Khz or even 
more these days!) It is bullshit but much harder to prove (even if 
you know how digital audio works) and much more accepted even by people 
that should know better.

I mean, just recently someone posted a comment about my kick drum 
collection and asking if they are 48khz because 44.1Khz damages the highs 
too much (or something to that effect). People will really believe 
anything. :)
