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?

You seem to have no knowledge of D/A conversion issues in audio applications.

Certainly, I am not an expert on D/A conversions, never said I was. But please do explain how a ethernet cable impacts the noise in the DAC. It's what I asked of @nonoise and he certainly couldn't come up with anything.
