Noisy ethernet cables

When I use any ethernet cable other than the stock cable that came with my Bluesound Node2 I get much noise. I have tried three, the latest being a Nordost Heimdall2. The other 2 I heard about here, Monoprice and Supra both cat8. ???

I have very good experiences with the sotm cat7 Ethernet cables, they have a buildin filter:

Also using an isolation trafo is useful:

and of course powering all components in your digital rig with linear power supplies is a must...
