Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable

HI All

I recently purchased a Supra Cat 8 ethernet cable to replace the stock cable to my bluesound node 2i after hearing rave reviews of the Supras.  However, the Supra sounded rather bright and clinical in my system. Plus side it has a lot of details,  sounds very clear and bass prodution was pretty good but just sounded very forward and bright over my stock ethernet cable.   Am using Klipsch 6000 f speakers,  an XTZ power amp and a Freya + preamp.

I have not run in the Supra fully yet, about 7 hours. Will it get better over time? Has anyone who has used Supra to your node 2i felt the same. Or do you have a different opinion? Appreciate your views.

All digital cables have very low voltage vs say a loudspeaker cable 

250-300 hours to fully runin at least 150 hours to smooth out from my vast experiences.

Youhave to remember you are only using roughly 5 volts .

you can have your amplifier off ,just put your digital playing on repeat, or if streaming just put a bunch of music on and let play burnin willbe much quicker  this way .

Just leave your digital on repeat or load up music on Roon or whatever to play 

24-7 Keith Amp,preamp off only digital has to be on I do this with new cables for 10 days huge difference after say 150 hours then gets better still 100 hours further.
