Ethernet and USB cables

p05129 what may seem odd to you is not to others. My claim to have some good cables is based out trying different ones but, I haven’t tried other USB or Ethernet cables. I was hoping to minimize that process and I thank everyone who has helped by sharing their experiences. This is a great forum because I’m getting feedback from so many audio fans.

I haven’t tried super high end Ethernet cables but can confirm that Supra cable is a clear and wonderful enhancement over generic Amazon cable. And it’s cheap as far as cables go (I think 55ish for a short length).

I have more than I need so will be listing here or the Mart when I get around to it.

@clearthinker,

for the umptiest time: it isn’t the errors in bit transmission but rather spurious EMI/RFI or ground level noise travelling alongside the bits and messing up the d/a conversion that good cables can address.

I don’t find it odd at all that the OP would like to verify Ethernet and USB make a difference. I always hope I don’t have to go through the expense and effort of selecting a high end cable for something. I keep hoping this time it will not matter. 
Unfortunately, once again it does. I just put in a second direct line just for my amp… damn, it mattered. For once I would really like it to not matter… this gets expensive and time consuming.
