What is the latest greatest USB add on device?
Yes it is.  
Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire
Yes I have. Most of my customers want long xlr cables and I think shielding is smart for these. They can be built as you say with a shield which I have done. I like to use a shield on a properly constructed xlr cable.This is a pretty good point th...

These are not that easy to build, however the OP of that thread will make you properly wired 8 port Poe units. It involves cutting unwanted traces and soldering short wire jumpers to the board. I ordered mine from the OP as I am too busy to mess w... 
Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire
Yes,  twist the wires on pins 2 and 3.  Just use some nice 1/4 inch copper braid from sellers like Amazon or Parts Connextion etc....Make sure the braid is pulled up as close as possible to your xlr plug solder connections.

Well the starquad DC does not come close to the more difficult to build Poe DC cable.  However they are much better than stock.

Well I mod these regularly for customers.  I happen to have one available.  Here is what you can do or tech you trust.  Buy a Teradak DC30 and replace all the electrolytic caps with long hour Nichicon HW caps. Add chassis dampening, Perfect Path C... 
Duelund internal speaker wire?
I respect audioman58, but could not disagree more. The Duelund wire is naturally toned and beautifully resolving....not in the traditional Hifi or high end manner however. It does not shout out ....pay attention to me! Rather it allows the listene...

Impossible to say Ethernet on any other method is better than usb as there are just too many factors and options. We’re are just in the infancy of this medium.  Here are just two areas that transform your digital front end.  Those expensive power ... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
Shipping is always a possible issue depending on how rough they are on them.   In terms of why I sold them, well that’s what I do! Build.... sell.  Modify .......  sell.  It’s part of the journey.  
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
No, Mr. Gabriel is not completely wrong and makes some good points. Yes, your points are reasonable. Perhaps this is just not the place to go there. I may disagree with the OPs opinions on cords and caps etc...but he started this thread for a diff... 
Where to get XLR male to male cable
