Hi Marco,
Wait until your Pi-Dac hits 50 hours +, it really starts to shine.

I used to worry about this sort of stuff but if I'm honest I can't tell the difference and cds still sound good to me. No wires - no grounding issues as far as I see.
All my streaming streaming, movies music themail lot is wireless. Dropouts never occur. I use the latest virgin superhub on their fastest connection and stream whilst working and other people using the net as well
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

That, however, most certainly won't stop me from enjoying music. Last night I was up until 2am, doing precisely that.

Supposedly highly rated but it's unshielded and cat5!

Yup!Ah, I see. Thanks, Neal. So really it's just a case of if I can be arsed trying some Cat7, and seeing if I can hear any difference between that and Cat5e - a 'suck it and see' job

People hear what they hear or think they hear, if they are happy then they are happy and that's all that counts but please try to keep a realistic head on your shoulders and don't spend £1600 on a Cord audiophool Ethernet cable.
This is a good read for those interested, look away now Marco, LOL! http://archimago.blogspot.co.uk/2015...and-audio.html
Go straight to the conclusion/summary....

Not to much difference in the price between cat 5 and cat 7 if you avoid the audiophile versions
