Ethernet cable recommendations

These CAT 8 are OFC, larger 22awg x 8 solid core (not twisted) = 13 awg,

Each pair shielded, overall shield ....

Impressive quality. I used them for speaker cables, bought some red, bought some black, twisted them. cut the very impressive connectors off, put nice spades on.

A Sablon Audio 2020 ethernet cable matches your preferences.  Discussed here.

thanks, I wonder if the Purist also would be similar

A little below the price range

in people's experience is the cable from server to switch as important as the one from switch to DAC?  do you tend to put the cheaper one from server to switch?
