Audiophile LAN cables

I know very well the importance of cables in a system, and I know very well the difference in the sound they make.
I have been assembly audio cables for my own use for years now, but I never expected how a LAN cable could change the sound of my liquid music so much.
Do you guys have experience in LAN cables?
Do they make a difference also in your audio setup?

IMO, shielded ethernet cabling is the way to go. Jetter, try a Monoprice Cat8 ethernet cable....costs very little. I swapped one in between my router and Small Green Computer Roon server. I honestly didn't hear any sonic drop off. It is a "thick" cable.

@jetter,

For Node 2i, try Supra Cat 8 LAN cable. It’s a very high quality cable...I am using one with my Vault 2. The authorized seller ‘zendada’ is listed on eBay.

Data is data. Cable vs WiFi makes no difference.

Wireworld Starlight Cat 8 made a subtle but audible difference in my system, resulted in sound that was more precise.

Just get a high quality Cat-8 cable. Wire world carries a good selection. No need to buy “audiophile grade LAN cabling, whatever the he’ll they might be. Bits is bits, ya know?
