I've had a look at the website http://www.mains-cables-r-us.co.uk/streaming-accessories/308-meicord-audiophile-ethernet-network-cables.html and read the technical paper http://www.mains-cables-r-us.co.uk/siteuploads/meicord.pdf It's a very poor paper. The perfectly valid comparisons of different Ethernet cables and their compliance with Cat5 or Cat6 specs show that these cables might differ in the efficiency of data transmission, have possibly slightly different throughput but that's nothing to do with audio. One of the beauties of Ethernet is it's media independent. It can run on copper wires or optical fibers. Even wireless WiFi is similar to Ethernet. In all cases, the purpose is to transfer data from A to B without a loss. If it's audio data, it doesn't matter if it's converted into sound at A or B, the result is the same, if the same conversion is applied and the data is available. One can only wonder why they even bothered to reference a technical paper dealing with irrelevant measurements. All recommendations for the Meicord cables on the website are based on purely subjective impressions of people who can hear grass grow. -- mhaas ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mhaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40657 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93257 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
