7. Currently awaiting for my Gaia to arrive, after which I will get some decent power cords from Tellurium and a HDMI cable probably from Argentus, unless something better gets reported or recommended. Please also take a step back and look at the cables which are in your sytem. They make a huge difference as well.

 

0.5m CAT8 Ethernet cable (Full Metal Case option for $33.45) could be a good choice as well

Here comes the twist ... i2s B RJ45 with this 0.5m TZ cable (metal shield version) sounded just as good as the 0.5m Argentus in i2s A hdmi !

Hi seeteeyou 

 

Yes indeed, this is the one that I am using in my sharing and had posted the cable specification of published ofc copper albiet no further details and if believable.

 

Hi Richard

 

While these flagship Ethernet cables might seem to be "a little bit" too much for an I2S connection

Are you planning to try the latest Furutech LAN-8 NCF by any chance?

The shortest length available should be 0.6m (under 15,000 yen) and so far it's only available in Japan and Taiwan etc.

Just wondering if a decent Ethernet cable were able to further improve the performance of Gaia.

I am using the 1m factory terminated canare D5.5UDC01E from Japan at great price of usd20 ... they replaced more expensive and well reviewed Apogee Wyde Eye:

I found that Canare actually made an even better model L-8CUHD with impressive specs, resistance / attenuation of L-5.5CUHD looked quite good already while L-8CUHD seemed to be superior

L-5.5CUHD

http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=247

 

L-8CUHD

http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=256

 

Those numbers of L-8CUHD should be even better when compared to its predecessor L-8CHD

 

http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=135

 

So far I was only able to find bulk wires in Japan

Though we could get 3-foot factory terminated (Laird L8CUHD-B-B-003) for US$32.5

Hopefully that's a good choice for those of us who are looking for nice clock cables.
