If possible, please do add this one more critaria in your experiments.

Hi Yogi,
Unfortunately, with my streaming setup and network bridge, I can't do that. There's no "buffer" functionality in my setup, if that is what you were referring to.

But I fully understand fully why the better cable downloaded "better sounding bits"; its not the bits themselves that are better, its the noise "layered on top of the bits" that you're hearing from the generic and lower spec Ethernet cables.

I'll expound more on that tomorrow.

Tonight I am going to listen to my new Harbeths!

Cheers,
Stephen aka PC
