Blue Jeans is what you want. Anything over is a scam. Ask yourself - does Amazon (Tidal, etc) use $1000 Ethernet cables in their data centers? No? Why would you?
Ethernet
I am adding a HiFi Rose RS 130 to my set up and need to split my ethernet cable run... Here is my question: I have about a 20' run into the splitter , then 2 x 3' runs to the RS130 and a BluSound Vault. I have been using a $20 ethernet Cat 5 cable on the BluSound Vault alone. I am seeing (typical) ethernet runs for $7,000 to $1.50. Where do I go here? Primary goal is to make sure all 3 runs are identical and really NOT thinking of spending a ton here. Thoughts? Cat 5...6...7...?
Help !!

@antigrunge2 - where does it mess with USB and how? SPDIF - sure. This is why no one should be using coax. I am yet to hear explanation on USB. Ethernet even more resilient. Everything is retransmitted if there is an error. Again - your email does not change no matter fiber, electrical, satellite links and 100 times conversion of electric to optical to radio and back. It comes to you 100%. So is the FLAC file. |
o2 +1 for Supra Cat 8+ cables, been using them for a while; and a terrific value (and really good performer)......all of their cables are good performance for the money. As mentioned, they are made in Sweden to very high quality.....and are lesser known in the US. The official distributor for the US sells on eBay under the name sjofn HiFi, it's legit purchase. They have lengths from .5 meter up to 30 meters |
you need to read up on this: fiber does not suffer from the noise incursions I highlighted but from noise generated during ethernet to fibre conversion. The problem isn’t that packets get truncated or don’t get there at all; it’s that the noise travels along the packets on the wire, whichever you chose with deleterious impact on the D/A conversion. and btw: why do you think people offer USB cables where the 5V line is separate from the signal lines?
