.......but here is where the confusion lies at least for me. I see where Shunyata has the Omega which is their top of the line Ethernet cable for $3,000 and that is a CAT6 cable made with silver wires and a Telegartner connection. Cardas has a CAT7 cable with their 8awg copper wires also with a Telegartner connection for $300. Then there is Purist Audio with a CAT7 cable that is also made of silver but has a GG45 TELA connection and from what I have read is cot compatible with J45 connection for $360. Siltech has their Royal Crown Network cable for $4,000 that is also their silver and don't know their connection Can't believe that I am not confused over purchasing an Ethernet cable.
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 the purpose the cable will serve in your setup is an interface between an SACD transport and a DAC. Cat6, 7 or 8 should all be compatible. Comes down to how much you’re looking to spend to stop wondering if you could have done better. And if you hear a significant difference between the $360 Purist and a $3,000 Shunyata. Also, from what I’m reading, GG45 connectors are comparable with RJ45. |
