Right now you can find the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 5 for as little as $339.99 shipped after a $50 rebate, it’s a hefty price tag but keep in mind this board should be among the best of them!

I'm glad you ran the Rightmark Audio Analyzer test to confirm my suspicions.

Any thoughts about this? Seems like a total marketing department call. "Hey Bob add gold plating on something so we can say we have it."

Doesn't mean anything to me as I don't plug in gold plated video/audio connectors anyway. I've asked Gigabyte if they done any in-depth with and without testing in their Taiwan R&D facility. I'll let you know if they have and if they haven't, then it was likely to be a checkmark feature that sounds good.
