I only need 1M+ and I only get 25Mbps’s max internet speed. I got the Lumin U2 mini so a very good streamer. If you do believe it makes a difference any suggestions on recommended cables at the value end of the line would be appreciated. When I bought the streamer, I went well above my budget, it was worth it but there is a limit. Currently using a Cat6 which came with the unit.
Looking at your signature that carries your system details, it is apparent you have already 'traveled that extra mile' with your Devialet. And IMHO, quality of the Ethernet cable does matter as the sonic signature changes by a good margin. And that led me to invest in AQ Diamond for Ethernet in my setup.
I would recommend you to look for a Used AQ Vodka ethernet cable that's a great cable and also not too expensive.
