I work with computers and a cable isn’t going to do anything. 1’s and 0’s are going to be the same 1’s and 0’s on the other end. If they aren’t then you dont get a correct signal and are dealing with other problems. These fancy cables dont “massage” the 1’s and 0’s to make them sound better.
ETHERNET CABLES
When using ethernet for hooking up streaming devices and dacs, what cat level of ethernet cable should be used. Is there any sonic improvement by going to a higher dollar cat 7 or 8 cable?

@rbmarsh Bingo, forget the miles upon miles of cable that's laid out, or the numerous amount of routers and switches it has to go through. Don't worry though, the 1 meter blue jean ethernet cable is going to clean it all up. |
@jerrybj apply the same rule to interconnects. You have cheap thin cables connecting everything, but in the last part of your signal you have SUPER expensive cables. Do you think that cancels all the negative signaling before? It’s the rule of lowest common connection (You can have 10 gig connections before, but if you have a 100 meg connection at the end then nothing else matters) |
