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?

Which I've done. I'm pretty sure Pete at Triode Wire Labs does a 30 day guarantee for standard lengths.

You have cheap thin cables connecting everything, but in the last part of your signal you have SUPER expensive cables. Do you think that cancels all the negative signaling before? It’s the rule of lowest common connection (You can have 10 gig connections before, but if you have a 100 meg connection at the end then nothing else matters)
