Illuminati Datastream Digital Coax -- anyone familiar?

Back when I had a two-box digital system I bought this coax digital cable. That was nearly 10 years ago and since I've since gone to a single box solution, I've had it stashed away in a box.

Very strange design ... it is has a solid casing for the ground that you bend to fit the distance between your transport/dac. The connectors are solid machined and supposedly perfect 75 ohms (+-0.5).

Anyone else out there familiar with this cable? Is it worth anything?

This cable was designed by Chris Sommovigo (of Stereovox). One of the (if not the) first cables to be designed specifically to meet the needs for S/PDIF transmissions (ie, reduce reflections).
