Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

@markalarsen   Which cable are you using? Thanks.

kosst_amojan"nobody owes anybody proof. But when they make statements all truth disagrees with, then they shouldn’t be offended when they’re called liars.

That is the sort of playground logic common amongst children it is the same type of reasoning that prompts the answer "I know you are but what am I?" what is especially silly is you’re inflated ego belief that posting anonymously here you’re silly demands and complaints someone might take you seriously enough to become insulted! You’re tantrums here are those of a toddler who needs a changing and a nap probably you have a little rash that is troubling you.

Not real impressive psycho-babble. Go give yourself a cookie. 

I've been digging around inside digital gear for about 25 years, reading the specs, tweaking it, and pushing it the it's limits to see what I can get out of it. I know exactly what bus termination problems sound like. I know what torturing DACs to their electrical limits looks and sounds like. In all likelihood your DAC shares ground with the bus termination and you're hearing the termination bleed over into the DAC. As I said, poor/failing design. Look at the PCB and tell me what you see. 

He’s been digging around inside digital gear for 25 years?! Well, that blows my theory that he’s only 15 years old all to hell.

His "Go give yourself a cookie" rejoinder and temper tantrums reveal that he probably hasn’t reached 15 yet.
