Why would it need gold plated anything? It's all digital, all the way to the speakers. Or was that not a serious question? Perhaps you are thinking I spend $10k on speaker wire or devices to alter my listening rooms "quantum field"? No. I have an expensive digital processor because things like room correction work and the trinnov is the only kit that works with HDCP inputs and produces digital output. It's not that hard to do, it's just hard to do legally.
