Hey lalitk, sweet …. SOtM rocks! Another company using Empirical Evidence (to get the job done) for us music lovers.
SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables?
I just came across an official announcement on SOtM’s highest grade Ethernet cable ~ dCBL-CAT8M. Interestingly, the new LAN cables sports not one but two filter blocks on each end of the cable.
The premise of trying this cable in a fully tricked out SOtM system with their sNH-10G network switch is quite tempting. It will be interesting to hear how a complete SOtM system compares to my current reference, Telegartner M12 Gold Switch with JCAT Signature GOLD M12 LAN cable and Optimo 3 Duo LPS.
There is no official review yet so I am hoping to hear from anyone currently using this cable and said improvements over dCBL-CAT7 in your digital streaming system. Where exactly did you find most improvement, before or after the Ethernet switch?
Opinions are welcome from those who believe in the importance of Network Optimization, thank you!
Happy Holidays 🎄

Running Mac with El Capitan OS using two SOtM dCBL-CAT7u, sNH-10G with sCLX-EX clock and sPS- 500. Into Steve Nugent of Empirical Audio’s Interchange Renderer / Dynamo LPS package. Started quest back in May of this year, so the Mac (I, not being thee most computer savvy) and apps are still a work in progress amongst various other learning curves, but overall to date I’m a happy camper. A new reference LAN cable ... lol, when will the madness end?! ;-) |
Regarding the sNH-10G @lalitk, opted only for sCLK-EX. Under the premise master clock input and special edition can be had later if I so desired. Besides, you sit at a different level than I ... compliment :-)

@lalitk, I’m assuming that iSO-CAT7 filter was added to your cart during purchase? ;-) Enjoy the fun! |
I’ve rid myself of any Fiber @lalitk, many moons ago. And that is not without somewhat trying. Those that do incorporate Fiber Optic Interface in some form or fashion, I show no discontent. Maybe a question better left for SOtM? Or you could just wing-it / explore. |
My post removed ... for what, one word? that post of mine was clean. Happy Holidays to all You’re welcome @lalitk, and thank you for the kind words. |
