Ethernet cables

+2. Exactly my thoughts. Been there done that. Many years ago. Whether you continue to experiment with everything down the road, including with cables, it depends on how passionate you remain with the hobby

Put their money into the active components, purchase quality inexpensive cables, and tweek thereafter once one has become familiar with the system.  I sometimes take my own advice. :-)

If they are to spec, it will not make a difference.  Believe me, I am in the industry. Unless you are running more than about 200 ft, there will be no difference.  The signals on the cable are digital, they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with sparkle & weight.

Hello

I suggest you the Viablue cable in Ethernet, it works perfectly and brings a neutrality on the sound scene

I suggest the LINKUP CAT8. It made difference on my system after install on my system. Each cable is tested and its results is sent jointly with the package.

It sounds great. Previously I was skeptical about ethernet cables making difference on sound.

@cakyol,

this bits are bits argument gets easily defeated by using your ears. Even short ethernet connections are subject to RFI/EMI as well as ground level incursions that have been measurably proven to mess with digital to analogue conversion in spite of your alledged digital expertise.
