SOtM dCBL-CAT7 LAN Cable

Hello Folks, 

Has anyone tried this cable yet? What are your listening impression about this cable compared to your previous Ethernet cable. The Filter Block on this cable is what intrigues me...It's supposed to eliminate the wide band digital noise inflow from the router or NAS. 

I realize the best way to find out is to try one in my system. Since these cables are not cheap and I need a pair for my system, i thought it would be nice to hear some feedback from audiophile community. 

I will be using this cable between a pair of Apple AirPort Extreme, 1st APE connected to AT&T modem and the other one to my Aurender streamer, thus providing a stable 'wired' Ethernet connectivity.

What I did in my setup was get rid of the airport extreme (with it’s switching power supply) and replaced it with a 1 box netgear router/modem for Comcast.

I power the Netgear box with an Uptone JS-2.

Also, I added a Waversa hub (network switch with filters).

These upgrades brought massive improvements.

I’m curious how the sotm cable would improve upon this. Or would it be too much filtering.

Are you going to be trying the SOtM cable/filter out within your system? Or was it a question?

More just thinking aloud. I would like to try the SOtM cable.

One thing I noticed is turning off the wi-fi radio on my router/cable modem box makes a substantial difference.

The radio needs to be turned off, not just the SSID broadcasting.
