Хорошо, если там действительно позолота, но скорей всего либо золота вообще нет, либо только для цвета. Ради интереса загуглил. Золочение 10х10см 1мкм стоит 600р. Нормальный такой бизнес)
В общем несмотря на отсутствие посторонних шумов (в отличие от Азалии), уши не играют.
Толи USB звуковка виновата, толи динамики в ушах плохие, непонять. Чтобы понять их надо отрезать и прикрутить миниджек, но чето жаль.
Продам Creative Soundblaster Evo ZxR, новые)
PS: К слову, нормальная акустика за 5-10 лет не превращается в старый хлам, в отличии от компа за такую же цену.

Да, это ethernet патч-корд. Да, оно стоит овер килобакс за полтора метра. Да, оно называется "Vodka"
Обзорщик там сам себе противоречит)
Сначала в нем говорит аудиофильское:
I've spent a few months with these cables, and I swapped them in and out any number of times. With quick A/B swapping, which I admit to finding one of the most annoying ways one can listen since you're no longer listening to the music!, I was still able to perceive a clear difference but longer listening allowed me to more fully appreciate the greater clarity and relative ease the Vodka and Diamond cables impart. You can picture the changes when going from the standard Cat. 5 Ethernet cable to the Cinnamon, Vodka, and Diamond as adding more and more color to a faded image. It's as if the sound blossoms more fully with the more expensive cables.
These changes are also cumulative. With all Vodka cable in my system, from NAS to switch and from switch to MacBook, there was a greater level of perceived clarity and scale as compared to swapping out just one of the cables. If I were to pick which cable in the chain made the most difference, I'd say the one that ran from the switch to the MacBook. So if budget is a concern, and when isn't it, I'd suggest starting nearest your music server and working your way back from there. Of course, your results may vary and I'd also recommend experimentation.
Потом пробивается разум:
What isn't as plain as day is why these AudioQuest Ethernet cables change the way the music sounds coming through my hi-fi. I can in fact think of more reasons why they can't make a difference. Ethernet is packet-based, it includes rigorous error correction, it works wonderfully for all kinds of super important data and even ineffectual blathering like carrying all of those Facebook statuses, tweets, and Instagrams. If the bits were not relayed in tact on regular old Ethernet, we'd surely know about it. Our networked world wouldn't work! But it does.
И таки пишет, что это ближе к вере:
In the hi-fi hobby we are blessed or cursed, your choice, with an inevitable truth—The veracity of anything and everything is decided by listening. Further, the actual worth of something, its value, relates directly to how much enjoyment we get not from it but from what it does to our perception of our beloved music. The greater the musical enjoyment, the greater the worth. Whether we're talking about having a glass of wine (cheap or really precious), a comfortable chair, the right room temperature, or spending the requisite time and energy to position our speakers appropriately in our rooms, all kinds of things contribute to our enjoyment when listening to music on a hi-fi.
