I stream music via TIDAL and the only cable in my system that is not an "Audiophile" cable is the one going from my Gateway to my PC, it is a CAT6 cable. Question is, do "Audiophile" Ethernet cables make any difference/ improvement in sound quality?
Any and all feedback is most appreciated, especially if you noted improvements in your streaming audio SQ with a High-End Ethernet cable.
@zoom25 my bad, for some reason I thought it does. Bottom line last link to the D to A conversion stage is important especially if DAC has small buffering and very specific to the individual setup
@markalarsen I have USB toslink coax Bnc. I prefer toslink (just mentally) because it has no electrical connection with computer which is full of... noises. No noticeable difference with USB and I did not try coax or Bnc (because I’m lazy)
@acepilot71. Ok. I am discussing an Ethernet input in the back panel of the DAC, and the Ethernet cable from the wall to the DAC. Check out the cover of the April 2018 Stereophile.
