RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive
So do I, they are complementary and Rem-8 actually has the stronger effect  
Power, Network, Connection, Which one matters the most to you?
Since this is the digital audio threat: cleaning up power, providing good grounding and avoiding RMI/EFI incursion throughout the system including the router as well as the best clocking you can afford are paramount.   
Go Cat8!
@Mceljo,   thanks for your thoughtful response. Meicord (sic) until a couple of years ago was the gold standard for ethernet patch cables. Through my journey over the years I have learned that avoiding RFI/EFI and ground level distortions is pri... 
RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive
@cleeds, It did sound toogood to be true..!  
Go Cat8!
I am reporting on what I hear: replacing cables between Etherregen and server had a major impact.

I suggest you get off this thread if you only have tosh to contribute  
RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive
If you are a man of science you might want to look into the beneficial effects of Quartz and Tourmaline in cleaning up electric currents as propagated by e.g Furutech‘s NFT products or Nordost, indeed Acoustic Revive et al rather than indiscrimin... 
Chinese Cables that sound good
@melm  +1 in every way: Viborg was one of the 3 different chinese power cables I tried and it does what it promises  
Ethernet cable for Streaming
Going Cat8 has major benefits as Oldhvymec points out. My best experience has been wit Onti Cat8 on Aliexpress. Superb quality and sonices  
How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer?
Signal and power cables have very different technical requirements in terms of frequency spectrum (digital!!), resistance and impedance as well as power transmission. I fail to see why any one manufacturer would have a consistent advantage given d... 
Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner?
Over the last 30 years I have experimented with all sorts of power cables. 1. their impact on sound quality in terms of transparency and attack is significant. 2. Their performance can be significantly enhanced by using contact enhancers from e.... 
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
@verdantaudio,   with all due respect: if you think Roon Nucleus is a good streamer, you owe it to yourself to listen to an InnuOS Zen or Zenith using the InnuOS Sense app in non-Roon mode. The SQ doesn‘t even compare!  
Chinese Cables that sound good
I find Chinese copies objectionable, that’s why I bought the Onti Cat8 as well as no name power cords that all proved to be very good.  
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
Could it be that this discussion arises from a definitorial problem? The analogue stage of a DAC generally outputs a signal akin to that of a pre, so all that‘s needed is attenuation and in some cases an analogue input to handle the phono signal.... 
Decoupling cartridges from tone arms
I use a Cartridgeman Isolator between my Zyx Universe and Dynavector DV507 MkII tonearm: wouldn’t want to miss it.
