Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
Do you own a streaming DAC? 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
No answer? How about another simple question: have you tested your premise that a high-quality Ethernet cable makes no difference on a high-end streaming DAC? 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
@kosst_amojan I asked you a simple question:  how many streaming DACs have you designed, manufactured and sold?  Dunning-Kruger effect.  
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
I am hearing that they do not want to try it because, they are so well qualified, they know it will not make a difference.  
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
All I am suggesting is that you try it in your own home in your own system. If you have not tried it, keep your uninformed opinions to yourself. I, for example, would be reluctant to express an opinion on a car I have not driven.  I would, however...

@grm. Good test. You may want to try a Cardas, AudioQuest or Wireworld Ethernet cable. They run around $200. If the one you buy fails the test, sell it here on Audiogon.

That is the scientific method. How many DACs have you designed, manufactured and sold? Bel Canto Design is a top brand, and the Black System is one of the best ever. Check Stereophile.

BTW, a friend from school (who lives in Denver) and I heard the Black EX at RMAF. We both decided to buy them on the spot.  
Bel Canto/Linn/MSB
I own the Bel Canto Black EX. Absolutely amazing. The Black DAC and Amp are crystal clear and powerful. Our YG Carmels came to life. My wife said it has balls, even after I suggested it is not male. The resolution, especially with MQA, is as good ... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
@kosst_amojan“.... unsubstantiated claims you can't back up with any evidence.” The scientific method is to develop a theory and then test it. The engineer who designed my Bel Canto Black EX DAC developed the theory – Ethernet cables from the wa... 
Y No YG ?
@soix Perspectives vs. YG Acoustic Carmel. My wife picked the Carmels and will not let me move them, a finger print issue. I am driving them with different electronics and different cables, and use a sub with the Carmels. I love them both, the way... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
That is not the point. Ethernet cable can impact in two ways:  (1) reducing EMI interference; and (2) the connections. If it was impossible, period, the good Ethernet cables, from Cardas, Wireworld and Audioquest, would not improve the sound quali...

Every time I have heard the Vaughn speakers, they have been amazing.
