Ethernet Cables


Audioquest advertises a series of Ethernet cables they tout as improving sound quality. I have a BDP-1 digital transport that connects to the router via Ethernet cable.

Has anyone had experience with the effect, if any, of alleged higher quality Ethernet cables on sound quality in audio rigs where these cables are required, e.g., with streamers, digital ttansports, etc.? I am skeptical, but I was about power cables too but that disappeared soon enough.

To try this, I first bought CAT7 to replace the old CAT5 and CAT6 and see (on TV) and hear improvements. Then I bought AQ Cinnamon and see and hear improvements. After a while I decided to try AQ Vodka when a deal came along, now I found I am listening to music a lot more. It’s more natural, detailed, and musical. It simply draws you into the music a lot more than even the Cinnamon does. I’m sure Diamond is better but that is way too expensive. If you don’t see or hear improvements, then your components and/or other cables are not up to bar. Or you can argue they are all 0’s and 1’s. :)
