NEW!! "Imagine driving a high performance car with a V6 turbo (like my Saab which had 250+ hp), then replacing the motor with a potent American V-8 that has a ton of low end torque. That is how I would describe the improvement Codename Turquoise makes in my Raysonic player." - June 2008

HA! Machina Dynamica!
Call me now and gimme $60! I'll play a set of clicks and bleeps over the phone and all your AV equipment will sound a hell of a lot better!

But there is always some truth in fiction
I must say the Codename Turquoise CD Tray Masking Kit of MD holds some truth; some cd's 'wobble/warp' on air turbulence caused by how far/near they are to the tray. This causes slight timing differences in the bits-stream read out by the laser and this phenomenon is called jitter. Various DAC designs handle jitter differently but in most cases it is audible. They tray lining MD sells could dampen the vibration of the cd's...
Nowadays probably all cd(dvd/mp3)players have a little buffer and quartz-time the bit-stream out of this buffer so it enters the DAC jitter free. Problems from bad mechanics are this way negated.
There were(/are?) some products on the market (iirc a little white box called clockwork) that you could put in between your cd-player and your seperate DAC that did this re-timing of the bits. This is where you see MD run their own version of the truth again with their 'clever lil clock' and whats makes them so deceptive to rich bastards with little technical knowledge: http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina41.htm
That brings me back to the topic:
Keep in mind that although the Denon AKDL1 is most probably a big fat rip-off, with hugely entertaining comments on amazon, it is a transport for a proprietary protocol; e.g. its not ethernet.
It could be a clever trick of Denon to transport the audio in analogue form with only some digital control-codes on seperate lines so they can call it a 'digital' interconnect. This way a good (OFC-)cable will sound better, because bad cabling can be heard when used in the analogue transport.
I haven't seen anyone pull apart the denon-link protocol yet, I wouldn't be amazed if the above scenario is true.
my 2ct.
