Cat 5 - 6 -7 or 8
Cat8 can produce ground loops between connected components through the unshielded metal plugs. Otherwise it all depends on connectors, shielding and quality of copper used. I have good experience with cat6 Meicord Opal. Also using an EMO filter fo... 
Position of speaker cables and irregular behavior
@oldhvymec  as I remember the expression pop(p)ed has an entirely salacious meaning you surely didn't intend?

...and by the way: why the hell do you continue repeating the same drivel endlessly? This is a forum for people exchanging their personal experiences to help each other, not the Church of Wonky Measurements  
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
Yawn: God gave us ears to listen. Will you ever stop pontificating?  
Questions about Ethernet Cabling
@ttippie,   all you have established is that as a digital guy you dont't know much about the impact of RMI/EFi and ground level noise on the analogue portion of a DAC. And again, listen before you postulate. More flat earth thinking.

@arafiq,   lovely post. It sort of raises the question whether what you measure is an accurate reflection of reality, doesn't it? Flat earthers, anybody?  
Tube dampener questions
For once I find myself disagreeing with @Millercarbon: on small signal and rectifier tubes, rather than 'sucking out the life' good tube dampeners stop tubes from ringing and thereby creating a zing or liveliness that is patently false. A corrolar... 
Innuos owners. Chime in
One more issue to mention: I strongly suggest you run your InnuOS server’s output at <94%. The server has very high output voltage and at 100% puts most amplifiers' inputs into overdrive resulting in an unneccessarily edgy and brittle SQ, parti...

RCA interconnect recommendation
Very sensible, too. And btw, does he use RCAs to drive his speakers?🤪  
Innuos owners. Chime in
The Sean Jacobs power supply in the InnuOS takes about 4-6 weeks of continuous use to fully break in. While streaming may not be a priority, yet I am happy to report that SQ on a well sorted Qobus source now beats ripped CD.

No problems with the app whatsoever. I use Nordost Brahma on my Zenith Mk3 with good results. On USB Intona Reference plus Isolator have proven to be the gold standard. Use the shortest possible cables. I have a Ginkgo isolation platform under it...
