ETHERNET CABLES


When using ethernet for hooking up streaming devices and dacs, what cat level of  ethernet cable should be used. Is there any sonic improvement by going to a  higher dollar cat 7 or 8 cable?

I would like to add my comments.

I am also using a EtherRegen. But I have the ethernet cable running from my modem to the EtherRegen,

From the EtherRegen I am then using fiber cable to my Lumin X1 which accepts fiber directly.

From the modem I was using a cat 6 cable, but recently switched to cat 8 and you know what? I did hear an improvement. It provided a more solid soundstage. No doubt about it.

So, I just ordered a WW Platinum 8 cat cable, so I’ll see where this leads.
