@garebear cat 7 or cat 8 doesn’t matter. RJ45 connections are standard. What matters is they don’t all sound the same and even if someone with the exact same components gives you a recommendation it will not guarantee your results with the same cable considering other variables such as the rest of the audio chain, room acoustics and personal preference for sound qualities.
So I get you didn’t like my response and it wasn’t what you wanted to hear but it’s the reality.
Suggestions on Ethernet cables for Accuphase digital separates..
I have a quick question that hopefully the members here can help me with. I recently purchased the Accuphase separates DC 1000 and DP 1000 and the DAC and Transport are connected by an ethernet cable. A J45 if I have that correct, is the standard connection for this application. I would appreciate if any members here who own these pieces have upgraded this cable connection and what cable they went to and why. Thank you in advance.....

........thanks auddphile and agree with what you have noted. This hobby is very subjective and there are some that unfortunately still do not see or hear that. Right now the Cardas Clear with the Telegartner connections is worth looking into. I am reading that the connections on these cables is critical. This is my first venture into this part of our audio hobby |
@garebear telegartner connectors are very nice. But the cable itself is also important. In example, I have compared Supra CAT8 with Telegartner terminations (available from Audio Sensibility) to Purist Audio Cat7 that uses “regular” connectors. The Purist sounds better to me so I kept it.
