Ethernet cables


I’m of the opinion given what I’ve read that Ethernet cables, along with everything else in the streaming chain, can make a significant difference in ultimate streaming performance (please those who think it’s just 1s and 0s please stay out of this).  Due to this I bought a Wireworld Starlight 8 Ethernet cable because it seems much better than generic cables but certainly far short of the higher $$$ Ethernet cables (the WW platinum would be an obvious case in point).  My question is, with the Starlight 8 how much good can I expect over lower-priced or generic Ethernet cables and how much more performance can I expect from stepping up to better Ethernet cables?  Please be specific if you’ve directly A/Bed the Starlight 8 versus better cables as that’d be very useful and helpful info.  Thanks!

Hey all, I’m going to be demoing a new DAC soon and wanted to get a ‘good or ‘ok’ ethernet cable 100 to 150 feet,

to temporarily run from system down the stairs to the basement/router, for the 30day trial. 
I will have an electrician do an in-wall run later on, with maybe better quality…but I know nothing here. 
 

Is there something I should get for this? System is rather transparent but I’d rather not spend to much for the temporary run but I also don’t want it munching up the trial to much. 
 

jay is a big cable guy. going as far as buying $77k magnum opus. Hes tried limitless amount of cables and the only thing he cant hear any difference on is ethernet cable

It's possible that his setup is so excellent that any distortion upstream is resolved by the time it hits the speakers though
