Wideband Filters on Ethernet Cables
rollo:
I noticed that several Ethernet and USB cable Manf,s use some sort of filter on the cable. Shunyata, SOTM etc. What are they actually and can we get them ?

I suspect they're mostly transformers, and yes you can buy them.
rollo:
Thanks Folsom. From the photo of Shunyaya cable it appears a slip on of some type like a ferrite but not. I have the transformers inside my DAC and transport.

Folsom:
My opinion is mostly meh who cares if it's Shunyata. Proprietary ferrite beads?
Are you not pleased with your current digital cables? You could PM me if so.

I use an Ethernet cable from Transport to DAC. Came with a Supra cable. Sounds VG to me however after trying several generic Ethernet cables we noticed big differences in sound. So now on a quest to find the best one for my application.
Have tried so far TWL [ VG/Excellent], Wireworld [ NFG], Supra [good], Monoprice [OK], Blue Jeans[ Good] and Chinese [VG].
