    It’s $10 and high quality. How much do you think you’re saving with a junk off brand one?

      You got a point, and I looked on amazon. Most bundle 2 or 3 into one, and the price is around $10 with a few above and not many below. I did find a 2 pack for $5. so I guess 50% because that’s definitely the one I would buy.

        And when it’s junk out of the box because random no-name Amazon cables are universally terrible?

          Can confirm it is terrible. I bought a pack from Amazon and both of them have terrible DAC artifact noises. Should have gone with the Apple one.
