I really think for any audio application it's a waste of gold and some
sucker's money. For high signal quality in computers and such it makes
sense.
Nothing wrong with the stuff, it is corrosion resistant, and
as you note, many computer connectors use it. I think rhodium
is probably better, but apparently it's harder to plate
connectors with rhodium thsan gold, and most folks never heard
of rhodium.
