Change of Ethernet Cable

Give it 100 hours or so

@jasbirnandra - here's a couple of tips

1. +1 for @kota1  - give it 100 hours first
2. if after 100 hours it still sounds bad...
   1. get an ethernet switch and place it very close to connected device and use a short (3ft) high quallity ethernet cable
      1. a switch nornmally has a 5V power supply
3. for ultimate sound quality, replace the power supply to the switch with a recharegeable battery

Whilst I have not personallly tried the switch idea, on paper it sounds about right and many other report great results.

Good luck - Steve

Give it 1000 hours. Only listen with your fingers crossed. Don’t cross your legs because that will throw the cable out of balance.

+1 on 100 hours

Also, what is your equipment. While, in general, a particular wire will have general effect, it is also very dependent on your equipment. There is a place under your user ID to put photos of your system and ID your components. This will help enormously for us to help you. 
 

FYI. I have used WireWorld Starlight on several of my systems and it never really did anything for me. I have had greater improvements with DHLabs, Cardas and a couple other Ethernet cables. But those are my experiences with my systems. 

Can someone recomend a ethernet which has a little body to the sound than the wireworld starlight8

@jasbirnandra Consider flipping the cable end-for-end.  Apparently, ethernet cables are directional (stated in other thread)

@jasbirnandra I really like the Purist ethernet cable. Not crazy expensive either especially used. Full sound, great layering and soundstage. 

Network Acoustics Muon Pro Cabling system out of the UK. Give Rob a call....a great guy 

Interesting, how can an ethernet cable impact sound other than blocking out RFI and EMI? 

Every ethernet cable has its impact on sound I tried a few and understood that ethernet cable does make a difference, noise is surely reduced to give a quiter background for music but how musical is the cable and other components is a different equation, some times a cable might be noise free but not musical that is were you decide which cable is best for you.

OP,

+1 I agree. I have been using DHLabs Ethernet (having tried several other good quality cables, like Nordost) … but realized after your post, I am sure a Cardas would be the ticket. I will ask my dealer for one when he has a chance… it sounds like the perfect, musical solution.
