Yeah the entire article smells like gold plated HDMI cables from Monster, as if that somehow improves the quality of digital signals.
Gold has a higher resistivity than copper. Resistance adds noise. It's probably just for corrosion resistance.
So they further distort the sound to replicate lower quality equipment? They're definitely not making it sound more like the original by introducing vinyl artifacts.
This is some serious hobbyist pricing bait, but I can't judge since I've got my own dumb expensive hobbies.
