Initially I used bog-standard ethernet cables and FLAC files and preferred the CD. I converted my music files to WAV and replaced the cable from the switch to the Devialet with an Audioquest Vodka. I now prefer the ethernet. Theoretically replacing that cable shouldn't make any difference, but it seemed to for me. I didn't try the FLAC/Vodka combination.

Try the Diamond...
And place your files (wav) on either ram disk or an external SSD/thumb drive/SD Card before playback...
There will simply be no going back...
