Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable

HI All

I recently purchased a Supra Cat 8 ethernet cable to replace the stock cable to my bluesound node 2i after hearing rave reviews of the Supras.  However, the Supra sounded rather bright and clinical in my system. Plus side it has a lot of details,  sounds very clear and bass prodution was pretty good but just sounded very forward and bright over my stock ethernet cable.   Am using Klipsch 6000 f speakers,  an XTZ power amp and a Freya + preamp.

I have not run in the Supra fully yet, about 7 hours. Will it get better over time? Has anyone who has used Supra to your node 2i felt the same. Or do you have a different opinion? Appreciate your views.

No, I don't use a streamer, just a computer. My ear is sensitive to all kinds of digital wrongs so I would've heard it. I don't quite remember about breaking it in, it was alright from the beginning and I bought it new.

In my case, signal goes from computer to a not too bad Burson Dac via Wywires Silver USB cable. Wywires Silver power cord on the Dac. Grado RS1 headphones.

Been using it for a while. Better than stock cable that came with the computer. No brightness problems.
