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?
I'm answering your question about how a packet can be lost. The cables and devices in question help to filter out noise better than industry standard ones. Your recitation above is all Greek to me but it does go to show you know your job but have average hearing at best, as other members have already pointed out. Probably why you went to the bother of writing it all up. With your wireless setup, and how much RFI gets into that? All the best, |
I'm gonna have to go with @nonoise he's been on here longer and has more post than Fredrick. |
@nonoise Thank you for finally admitting that you have no relevant knowledge on this subject. @brunomarcs Right, just admitted that he has no clue. |
Nope, not in the least. I learned some along the way. My only sin was conflating loss of sound quality with data loss and noise over an ethernet cable. You pointed that out earlier in the thread. BFD. The point has always been about reducing noise on an ethernet cable. The rest was you planting a flag on this mountain of a mole hill looking for revenge from some earlier, ancient thread, to which you admitted. You can't hear what others do with an ethernet cable swap and avoided answering my questions. That speaks a lot to your character. Now, back to your bottle and I'll get back to my system, which is way more resolving than yours. All the best, |
@12many when your wife swaps the ethernet cables on the streamer make sure she power cycles the unit. Shut down (not standby). Swap, power it back on. |
