Gary,
Listening test don't matter here. The more impedance is mismatched from AES/EBU standard 110 ohm, the more reflection in the digital cable. The more reflections in the digital cable, the more jitter. If you don't get what I am saying talk to Amir or the engineers at Berkely. If you think jitter isn't audible, that's fine but totally irrelevant.
Fraud is a common practice among cable manufacturers. When a manufacturer advertises a spec and claims superior performance, they must deliver on the spec or it's fraud. In this case I did pay $500 for the 42 ohm cable advertised at 110 ohm. I feel like I got took. I don't have time to file $500 lawsuits, so I can let it go. But it would an easy one to win if I did.

That's very interesting - what was the qualitative difference in sound between the 120 ohm cable and the 42 ohm cable? It would be great to correlate the sound of digital AES/EBU cables to measured impedance. If you can find another manufacturer's 42 ohm (claimed 110 ohm) cable, and it sounds the same as this particular 42 ohm cable, then we have datapoints we can use.
