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.....

@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.
At some point I wanted to try the Audioquest Diamond that also uses telegartner connectors. But I draw the line on Ethernet cables way under that price point.

….,,when I last checked, I didn’t think that Purist made an Ethernet cable .

Nice score! on those Accuphase separates. I am interested in reading more about your System. Staying tuned on the Ethernet cable choice as well.

 

Happy Listening!
