Also on a related note - about DBS and HDMI cables this time - I also have an AQ Mocha HDMI cable (it's the 'cheapest' one with DBS) and had been using it for my TV.
I recently upgrade the TV to a 4K 120Hz LG, and my player GPU to an RTX 3090 with HDMI 2.1 output. Unfortunately, the AQ Mocha HDMI does not work for the higher speed modes (e.g. 4K @ 120Hz). I had to use a decent generic HDMI 2.0 cable which did work. I recently bought a new "HDMI 48" AQ cable which works great, but noticed that the HDMI 48 versions don't have DBS until the top end models like Firebird. Looks like they had to redesign the DBS stuff to work with much higher signal bandwidths.
