Ethernet cables


I’m of the opinion given what I’ve read that Ethernet cables, along with everything else in the streaming chain, can make a significant difference in ultimate streaming performance (please those who think it’s just 1s and 0s please stay out of this).  Due to this I bought a Wireworld Starlight 8 Ethernet cable because it seems much better than generic cables but certainly far short of the higher $$$ Ethernet cables (the WW platinum would be an obvious case in point).  My question is, with the Starlight 8 how much good can I expect over lower-priced or generic Ethernet cables and how much more performance can I expect from stepping up to better Ethernet cables?  Please be specific if you’ve directly A/Bed the Starlight 8 versus better cables as that’d be very useful and helpful info.  Thanks!

With Ethernet the most influential for sure is at the end point or where the Ethernet hub Isand the hub very important also forthe money the Uptone audio ether regen 

is a great buy , I use the AQ diamond ad a end point cable ,and the very nice a bit Warner Final Touch Audio ,which BTW make excellent usb cables like their Callisto 

and top Sinope .  Digital is very picky ,I had a Wireworld starlight which is excellent for $200 but not even close to the others above yes the AQ diamind is $1k retail 

but refines the signal.

I’m using Cat 8 cords I found on Amazon and they seem to be everything I need. I actually bought 4 of them!

Cat 8 Ethernet Cable, 2 Pack 6ft RJ45 Connector with Gold Plated F/FTP Patch Cord, Gigabit Internet Network Cord, High Speed LAN Cable 40Gbps 2000Mhz for Router, Modem, Gaming, Xbox, POE, PS3, PS4 https://a.co/d/2llQ7b6

 

I use Belden ethernet cable cleaned up via an optical system. I can't imagine a more expensive ethernet cable being better since it comes out cleaned after the optical wash.
