It is a HDMI cable, but is not configured like HDMI. Instead it emulates the signal setup that the DAC computer chip uses. The theory is that one less interpolation will reduce jitter. I used to use a DAC with the old style I2Squared cable and it was much better than S/PDIF. Now, some argue that USB with an asynchronous clock is better than either.
