Let's not forget that I use a 250$ Chinese DAC (SMSL SU-8), a 49$(!) Chinese active crossover that sounds fantastic, and a couple pocket-sized Chinese class D amps in my main, all horn-loaded system, and they all represent the absolute best bang for the buck in that particular context, used within their limitations; so I'm biased to believe there are gems hiding in the dark waters. (and I've come to all this after using regular, approved brands for the last twenty years). Yet my VDH cables cost more than those electronics - only the CD drive and preamplifier have pedigree.
Of course, one could argue that the goal here is to sell a fake product, a gimmick, and sound quality may have been completely forgotten; but maybe we can consider that if they manage to make a 250$ DAC that sounds way above its class, then it would be very easy for them to make a 200$ cable that sounds glorious. If, and that is the question here, they actually cared about that aspect.
