This nails it down once and for all. :-D(...) upscaler or other digital betterizer box get's tested, some digital interconnect/patch cables can be included as a sideshow in the review
Or more humorously (and far more creepy) he just linked to that site so he could yank our chains here.While it's plain somebody is selling products under the OP's umbrella, I do wonder if the persona @ChrisCables is an AI bot scooping and disseminating our free opinions being shared here.
Tin foil hat? I have a custom Faraday helmet I seldom remove.
That, although difficult, too, to demonstrate, "sounds" already like an improvement to me...My theory is it confuses the noise.
Everyone knows that once you hit higher voltages, the noise electrons are being pushed around too fast to make it around tight corners, so that's not far off. It's just science.It's beginning to look like we'll never find out what advantage there is to braiding a power cable. My theory is it confuses the noise.
OK. That's funny!I waited 30 seconds and pulled the cable and asked him how it can possibly effect the sound? Song played for another 9:30 seconds and he couldn't tell when his 'cryo' treated cable was plugged in or removed.
Texas Instruments did a study on your EMI/RFI. They flat out said below 30MHz, and this is on older CAT5 (not even e), is noise immune below 30MHz.Ok. Lets leave the primary function of a network cable (transferring data) aside for a moment because I agree in principle with all that's been said so far.
Let me put my question a different way and maybe it will become clearer for some who are getting a bit frosty in this discussion;
Could EMI/RFI be quantifiable as a residual, contaminant audible effect on the resultant audio output signal dependant on the type of network cable used?

Classic! It goes to show that most people don’t understand computer science at all.how it can possibly effect the sound?

Ah. I work as a tech in an IT support team, and none of the people here would argue such things (unless sound was brought to a point where it was stuttering or ceased with CPU and disc activity close to 100%).But it's those who don't understand computer science that are currently earning the most in "tech" roles.
Want to see me do an example? "The reason you cannot feel noise or the effect of the cable during the 47 minutes of playback with the cable disconnected is because there is no internet activity during those 47 minutes. However the moment you connect it back, data flow resumes first with a massive transfer and then periodically once every X ms, and it is that activity that generates noise and jitter. An analogue would be battery/capacitors and AC power - Your laptop is likely quietest with an IEM when running on battery using its temporarily stored charges. But you need to connect the AC adapter eventually and suddenly you wish you had a quieter power supply, no?"

Did you not noitice the bit where:
Noise and jitter from ethernet has no audible impact on what comes out of your DAC. And even if it did, a fancy cable can't stop:
Nor can it mitigate the impact of those events.
Let's not forget that music is buffered. Take JRiver and setup a 1GB buffer. Setup a 10GBe network. I did for testing. I took a 16/44.1 CD and concatenated the entire album into one track. I was getting 332MB/s on a low end Celeron 3050 system. Started Playback in JRiver and in the 3 seconds that it took me to unplug the network connection the entire file was buffered and a 47 minute playback ensued with no network connection.
I had a believer in cable using Tidal. Tidal will cache entire songs. He queued up a 10 minute song. I waited 30 seconds and pulled the cable and asked him how it can possibly effect the sound? Song played for another 9:30 seconds and he couldn't tell when his 'cryo' treated cable was plugged in or removed.
No..! I hear no difference plugged in or out, network in or out, wifi or cabled. The function of the DAC is to filter out all kinds of noise, not interact with it.
Then Poe's law applies. Emoji needed. Like this :He was imaging the thinking of an audiophile who believes this stuff. He wasn't suggesting it was real. That's why he put it in quotes.
