They do! And it’s very good and not very expensive.
Suggestions on Ethernet cables for Accuphase digital separates..
I have a quick question that hopefully the members here can help me with. I recently purchased the Accuphase separates DC 1000 and DP 1000 and the DAC and Transport are connected by an ethernet cable. A J45 if I have that correct, is the standard connection for this application. I would appreciate if any members here who own these pieces have upgraded this cable connection and what cable they went to and why. Thank you in advance.....

@garebear best thing to do is either contact the cable company and get few cables to try at home using their landing library, or buy used and lose a little potentially by selling. |
@garebear cat 7 or cat 8 doesn’t matter. RJ45 connections are standard. What matters is they don’t all sound the same and even if someone with the exact same components gives you a recommendation it will not guarantee your results with the same cable considering other variables such as the rest of the audio chain, room acoustics and personal preference for sound qualities. |
@garebear telegartner connectors are very nice. But the cable itself is also important. In example, I have compared Supra CAT8 with Telegartner terminations (available from Audio Sensibility) to Purist Audio Cat7 that uses “regular” connectors. The Purist sounds better to me so I kept it.

@garebear the purpose the cable will serve in your setup is an interface between an SACD transport and a DAC. Cat6, 7 or 8 should all be compatible. Comes down to how much you’re looking to spend to stop wondering if you could have done better. And if you hear a significant difference between the $360 Purist and a $3,000 Shunyata. Also, from what I’m reading, GG45 connectors are comparable with RJ45. |
