Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

@markalarsen I just compared your setup with mine. In your case Ethernet cable goes into all-in-one device which called DAC but it does it all including implementation of network protocols, packets assembly, buffering, playing D to A and so on... if parasitic noises cryp inside through the Ethernet cable - god knows where they can get into. In my case it all stays in the computer and pure (or purere) data stream goes over the optic cable to D to A. If media player on the computer doesn’t screw up the stream - it is all clear.
If computer screws up - you have nothing.

Here is the review by Mike Girardi in Stereo Times that features our cable:

“The design, materials, and cable treatment process employed in the Revelation Audio Labs Prophecy CryoSilver Reference CAT7+/RJ-45 i2s Ethernet clearly differentiated itself as a state-of-the-art Ethernet cable in my final system configuration.” - Michael Girardi, reviewer and Senior Editor for StereoTimes.com

This was an unsolicited review (I do not solicit “proffesional reviews” of my work, as I place far more value on the unsolicited testimonial of a typical customer / end user).  Mr. Girardi subsequently sold his previous reference cable and our cable remains in his reference system.
