Comment on new adaptor just dropped

If you get the stereo + mic plug, you get four coppers. That’s enough to carry standard 10baseT.
With 1000baseT1 you can even get 1000Mbps (full duplex). The challenge is to get that 600 MHz data rate over a cable between the two points. With proper insulation, 802.3cy can even get you 25Gbps over a single pair if your cable is of high enough quality.

So you’re saying all those gold plated, vibranium braided, ultra expensive hi-fi cables audiophiles buy can actually help carry good speeds over a useless adapter system?!

Not for anything following the cable spec on HDMI cables, but a proper coaxial cable between the 8P8C plug and the headphone jack should be able to carry the bandwidth necessary.
Better quality cables on analogue media do help, of course. They just don’t do anything on spec-compliant HDMI cables. Sadly, spec compliant cables are more difficult to find than yoh may imagine, and even the gold-plated, diamond-encrusted cables don’t necessarily follow the spec.
