Dear all,
As per Guillaume's suggestion, my Challenger Ethernet ground cable arrived today.
On one end it is a RJ45 Ethernet cable, on the other end a reddish (copper) ground spade.
My leisure setup is an Apple Airport Extreme wireless router, connected to the Devialet with Audioquest Vodka, and my Mac Book Pro sending audio via Audirvana wirelessly (this way I avoid all the dropouts of the wireless AIR.)
The sound was good to start with. But things changed for much better when I plugged the Challenger to one of Airport's empty RJ45 sockets.
The change is not subtle, mind you.
More clarity, more extension, more 3D, more PRAT.
If you have an Entreq device, you owe it to yourself to give a listen. If you don't, all the better since I can say the improved I got with this is almost as large or larger than adding the Entreq to my system grounding in the first place, so try Entreq.
I currently use a Silver Minimus for this duty.
Happy listening,
Kunter
