As predicted, it took a major load off of my wireless network. Experiencing zero dropouts or aberrations now with the Devislet connected wirelessly over 5ghz. I have the radio set aside exclusively for the Devialet. The soundstage feels slightly less holographic. It’s been suggested that I upgrade my ethernet cable—any suggestions? I was told to get the Wireworld Starlight, but I don’t know how much of a difference it will make plugged into my modem/router. Perhaps it just needs some time to burn in. Any thoughts?
Supra Cat8 have a good reputation. I use them myself and think they offer very good value for money.
You can get them here if you’re in the U.K.
