Just as important is what they connect to. You know the plastic part it connects to inside whatever device you are connecting to. Same concept when monster cables were a thing, the gold plated connectors that connect to the back of your tv using plastic and undefined metal.
Ah yeah, you know the gold plated connections make all the difference for the fiber optic connection
I like to head on over the auto zone, get me some of that dialectic grease and dip all my dac cable ends. Just feels good going on ya know?

Gold plating is used to prevent corrosion, not optimize conductivity. It matters only for the longevity of the cable.
