Do Ethernet cable Cat8 DH Labs need burn in

🍳

It's your brain getting used to the new sound.

I don’t know if’s new power cables,new Directstream dac,Gigafoil filter or Ethernet cables but my streaming setup is sounding better all the time.

😱

No. They're Bi.

Oh, you just reminded me. They’re directional. 🔜 Apologies in advance.

No.

I’m not sure why you expect any change. You’re just sending data

>>>>>Well, yes and no...

I'm not sure why you expect any change.  You're just sending data - changes in timing or voltage level (within reason) don't affect anything.

I 've had that cable now for 6 months and can honestly say that I have not heard any changes over that time. But it did make an improvement right out of the box compared to the Amazon cable it replaced.

Time is always good. Things settle, and sound better.  I like setting up a system that sounds good, because it only gets better..
Digital stuff not so much, that I've noticed. 

Analog, speakers IC, RCAs, and  XLRs depending on materials, can take a while to break in/ settle in, and sound their best. LOL Some never do..
