AudioQuest DBS Field

If I understand it correctly cables not used for a while sound worse and require break-in period. DBS field prevents it by keeping molecules organized all the time. Also, polarization of molecules is probably stronger with higher voltage (lower dielectric absorption).

Audioquest explains:

"AudioQuest’s DBS creates a strong stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the
molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear
time-delays. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic
contrast. The DBS pack’s batteries will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery
check."

Our psychological well being, and profits of the company. I use Audioquest for all my interconnect and speaker cables by the way, and they have given me quite a listening pleasure..:-)

I use Acoustic Zen - better bang for the buck IMHO.

aw come on!

Paulsax - That's mechanics of dielectric absorption. You'll find it here: http://www.sencore.com/uploads/files/UnderstandDielectricAbsorption.pdf

Is it significant? I have no idea since I don't use Audioquest but some their cables like "Sky" are very, very good. Reviewers mentioned some difference with DBS ON vs OFF but it could be placebo effect as well. I don't know enough to question Audioquest. Acoustic Zen Absolute (foam Teflon in oversized tubes), that I use, is as good as SKY but without DBS.
