I'll keep researching.......Cheers~!
I don't what "shielded to the max" actually means, but if my understanding is correct, the type of shielding is what is important. If I understand it correctly, the type of shielding required for rejecting low bandwidth noise components is quite different in nature than high-bandwidth noise components, e.g. those from computers, DACs, etc with high-bandwidth microprocessors. Computers are notorious for spewing out a lot of garbage-y noise at high bandwidth, for example. This high bandwidth noise can actually be picked up by unshielded speaker cables and be fed backwards into power amplifiers as noise. Noise that then gets (re)amplified by the power amp. Not good. This is why at one point, Shunayta used different types of power cable and distributor construction for analog vs. digital components, and why they developed the DPC class of products.
