+1 Supra Cat8. But you will obtain a greater improvement by adding an audiophile-grade EN bridge between the generic router and your music server. Then deploy relatively short sections of high-quality EN cable to/from the bridge.
Ehernet cable question in streaming systems
I want to install a "better" ethernet cable between my streamer and remote wireless Google pod (my stereo system is in the basement}. My question is this: Should I also get a better ethernet cable between my router and modem (up stairs in my office) at the same time? My thinking is, when I upgrade the cable to my streamer, shouldn't the cheap, Google supplied cable between the modem and hub router be replaced too? Thanks, Jim
