Ethernet


In connecting a Lumin or Roon streamer is there a significant difference in sound quality between audiophile grade cables and switches as opposed to regular cables and switches? If so any recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated

As far as cables are concerned, there is no benefit from “audiophile” cables. You can and should buy brand-name, factory assembled and guaranteed cables such as Leviton or Hubbell. Home made cables where you crimp your plugs on to no-name chinese twisted pair cable of unknown quality are to be avoided like the plague. Cat5E is more than sufficient. Cat5 is sufficient. Cat6 is good but not a requirement for gigabit Ethernet.
