Sorry for bringing the topic up again, but this might be the 'ultimate' article.
"So do Ethernet cables have their own sound? This is no longer a question but a statement. The cable between switches is less important than the ones connected to the end points (NAS and/or streaming device), but a decent type like the AudioQuest Carbon is certainly worth the price in high end systems."
- dagw 13y agoMy favorite bit (talking about a setup where your music server sound card is plugged directly into your DAC): "In that case only commands are send over the LAN and access to the internet is limited to metadata and covers. A decent CAT-5 like Pearl will be fine" So the author is at least willing to concede that spending much more than £30 for a 1.5 meter network cable doesn't add much to the vibrance, color and quality of the downloaded album covers and metadata.
