Why?

Because it gives you a "large sound picture". If there's anything I've ever wanted in my pictures, it's for them to be large sound.

What's more, these ethernet cables work better passing data in one direction than the other. Here's me using ordinary, non-directional cables, like a sucker :(

Without commenting on whether the product is worth the price (I don't know enough about HiFi quality):

There is a bell curve of purchasing mentality - from a minority who buy solely based on what's cheapest, through varying degrees of cost/benefit tradeoff, through to a minority who will tend toward whatever is most expensive. It often pays to offer something to that latter group.

To be fair, that price is for the 12 meter (40 ft) cable. The 75cm (2 ft) cable is much more affordable at just £600.

The best part about that cable is that someone took the time to determine which direction it sounds best, and the cable is marked to make it straightforward to attach it in the best direction!
