ETHERNET CABLES


When using ethernet for hooking up streaming devices and dacs, what cat level of  ethernet cable should be used. Is there any sonic improvement by going to a  higher dollar cat 7 or 8 cable?

If you go and google ethernet industry standards, problems, EMI/RFI noise pollution, loss of packets, oversubscription, etc. you come up with page after page detailing how it happens all the time, along with the solutions they've had to come up with. This can all be found on their very own industry websites and not some crank audio site.

All freddy is doing is relying on our laymen ignorance (ignorance in a good way) so, as he's proudly proclaimed, until someone can come on who knows more than he does, then he's king sh*t of turd island, and that makes him unassailable. 

If you've noticed, he's down to relying on "theoretical" proof that nothing can better it. 

All the best,

@nonoise you are absolutely right. The industry had to solve for all sort of things, including noise, but that is the point; It is solved it. It is done, no longer an issue. Ethernet today is incredibly robust and error free in commercial environments, and well beyond that in residential environments. That is my whole point.

@audphile1  thanks for proving my point; when presented with how things actually work, ignore, deflect, personal attacks!
