Frankly, I find it amazing that there's so much focus on what could possibly go wrong with a 3-10ft network cable. Considering the audio isn't transmitted at 1Gb frequencies, then even lowly CAT5 will suffice just fine. Any decent network cable will do fine. If one is to believe there is a sonic difference between network cables on a digital signal, then please explain how the signal didn't degrade to unacceptable levels through transmission from the storage server in Qobuz, Tidal, Apple, Amazon, etc., in the hundreds or thousands of miles to your streamer.
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?
