Ethernet cables

I believe we are running a purse seiner….. sorry - couldn’t resist. 

on topic…. great sturdy connectors and verified quality assurance matter, and shielding….

My experience albeit somewhat dated is 50% DOA on Bluejeans

Suggested for APEX dCS streamer/dac ($32k), I have tried for 2 weeks with resounding success: Nordost QNet network switch & QSource Linear Power Supply and premium QSource DC Umbilical interface cables, all $6.3k.  This upgrade is really justified -although expensive-  .

Thank you very much for your time and your useful answers!

purchase cables to the level of your audio system - under and your cabling bottlenecks sonics, over and your money is quickly wasted. So be prudent.

Do you think it is worth spending a huge amount....

In this hobby, "yes" is what we often tell ourselves.....

They absolutely make a difference and the ones that I have had the best results with are Wireworld, especially the red starlitght 8 and my reference the Platinum (my favorite). The build quality is second to none and believe it or not (and I wasn’t a believer) they make a big difference in sound, just like interconnects. Highly recommend. Would I spend a huge amount of money? Maybe not, but these are very reasonably priced and I’m comfortable at this level for the results that I’m getting.
