Their USB cable has received good feedback:

The improvement appears to be due to the filtering.
TotalDac is actually a very interesting company and their DACs have been getting rave reviews. I think it's very revealing that they have developed an ethernet product that filters high frequency noise (their main business is in building DACs). Looking at this company and their website I don't think you could accuse them of selling snake oil! They seem very engineering-focused and seem offer continuous upgrades to their customers. And at 300 euros or so their cable is quite a bit cheaper than the offerings of other companies.
If I hadn't already invested in the AQ cables I'd be inclined to give this a try.
