Ethernet cable quality
#21
Supra makes a CAT8 one http://www.jenving.com/products/view/cat...1001908589 which is quite reasonable and supposed to sound better than Audioquest. I am waiting for a new Macbook Pro and I am wondering how thunderbolt 3/ USB-C will work with ethernet/AIR (using a dongle)?

The price of the Supra is only appr. 1/10 of the Vodka, which is nice. I'll try one out and see (hear). Where did you hear that it's better than AQ?

Never read a review or report that the Supra's are better than a Vodka or Diamond so I'm curious to that as well and also to which specific AQ model(s) it was compared (AQ has five).
PS Audio P3, Shunyata ΞTRON Alpha Digital and HC/Furutech power cables, Paul Hynes SR7EHD-MR4, DIY Roon Server & Roon Endpoint running AudioLinux Headless, Phasure Lush^2 USB cable, Audioquest Diamond RJ/E ethernet, Uptone Audio etherREGEN, Mutec MC-3+ USB, Shunyata ΞTRON Anaconda Digital XLR AES/EBU, Devialet Expert 250 Pro CI, Nordost Tyr Reference LS cables, Von Schweikert VR-5 SE Anniversary Edition, Anti-Mode Dual Core 2.0, JL Audio Fathom F112. More detail here.

I can recall that it fitted just fine, of course the cable is a bit firm.

Ok, thanks. I can wiggle the plug quite a lot so something is probably wrong here...

Just one guy there who compared the Supra to AQ and it was an AQ Cinnamon.
