Nope, I use standard Cat5 as I personally can't understand how it could logically make any difference. However, I'm not going to say no as I've never proven it to myself. Have you?

It's a real shop.
I think their market is solely made up of multi millionaires who judge quality on price alone.
They're well known for their outlandish claims;

I prefer to be a bit more scientific than whether I can hear a difference or not. If you understand how Ethernet works then you've pretty much proven that differing qualities of Cat5e cannot have an affect on the frames of data in a way that would affect how the audio sounds.
On the flip side if all engineers and scientists had such closed minds nothing would get researched or investigated as everyone knows it can't work... Then progress in many fields would have never of happened.
So while the effect in the domestic audio world my not be much, to blanket claim no effect exists could limit the discovery of something that does.....
Problem with some of these companies is instead of solving a really problem, they invent a solution first and then have to find a problem it solves....allegedly.

I wouldn't say it's closed minded to not look at how packets move over networks in case the man-made standards and the easily verifiable ways of checking whether they made it across intact or not are all wrong. It would be pointless.
Research how electrons move in wires if you want, but that's not the same thing.

Whilst I agree in principle with your comment, as 9 rightly points out, at what point does our understanding simply not consider say an indirect impact.
For example, back to the point about whether jitter exists within an SPDIF connection and whether it's discernable. From a science point of view, it's quite possible to verify that the data pushed into the SPDIF connection will equal the data coming out of the other end. So from a simplistic perspective you could argue that as long as the SPDIF connection is not damaged, then there should be no difference between implementations.
The point of jitter is to suggest that the timing of the consistency of how that data is delivered to the DAC chip can influence the analogue waveform out of the other side. 20 years ago, nobody had thought of jitter. Now it's a fairly common area for investigation, discusson and debate.
Again, I'm not trying to say that a difference can exist with a cat5 connection. I personally can't think of any reason why this could be the case (and yes I also work in IT and have done for 20 years), but it doesn't mean that there isn't something out there that we've missed or never thought of.
One of the best things I have read in a while, almost choked on a rich tea biscuit!
Have to say that it made me chuckle as I can think of some people like that.
Just aswell my last three CD purchases was a bunch of 1970 rock albums.
See you've failed as an audiophile already as 1970's Rock should be on vinyl
Do get any quarter for having previously owned it on vinyl and having once owned an LP12 to play it on?
Being fair, I'd not happily put my digital source up against any compably priced (s/h) record decks.
Not really because you sold both off !!! That was just careless
Can say I've never shed any vinyl.... still have my complete collection of Adam and the Ants on 7 and12" bought on the day of releases... LOL
I know how much you guys love this stuff........As Russ does it again.......

I'll get a coffee and pop corn..... take it away guys.....
I really did expect geeks on an overclocking forum to have a better understanding of gauge theories.
This device most obviously deposits an enhanced quantum entanglement field on the surface of the disk. The net effect would be to prevent decoherence of the wave function in infinitely dimensioned Hilbert space. This could potentially reduce loss of bits to Type III parallel universes by up to 25%.
I for sure will be buying one.

I can report I only found a couple of elderly brown tweed visitors in the RA room at NAS yesterday ...... Didn't spot the CD enhancer though, but then my Foo meter was going off the scale so only had limited exposure time available to me...
