It’s also worth adding that this is despite the router to switch (PhoenixNet) connection being a 5m Belden Catsnake Cat6a.
Again, hopefully also helpful to some, my Atom HE is connected to the PhoenixNet via another 5m Belden Catsnake Cat6a, but the Omega connecting the Statement to the PhoenixNet also makes a very noticeable difference to the sound of the Atom HE, which I listen to with Focal Utopia and Stellia headphones.
I have AQ Cinnamon from hub to Silent Angel Bonn switch and Shunyata Venom from switch to Auralic Vega S1. SQ is excellent.
Pulled a trigger for a kind of end-game cable for myself - Network Acoustics Muon pro. Opens the road for a filter maybe. Still a bit tempted by a Siltech but not soon.
The NA Muon Pro is a superb cable by all accounts. Excited to hear what you think of it.
Sound ominous! 
Tested for a while, it’s well above Eno that I’m also running (and AQ Carbon that I keep as a baseline for comparisons). It’s both a good and bad thing though) Bad because diminishing returns in network are further away than I thought.
Mea Culpa I had said that the higher end Shunyata cables with filtering did not work as well as their excellent Theta as a set up ethernet going from the Google Fiber modem to my Etherregen. While I waited for a special order 2m Theta to be delivered, I listened much longer to the much more expensive and used SigmaV2 which at first had not impressed me. There was more detail but it seemed at first to lack coherency and a specific sound stage. Well, the extra time made all the difference as the details stayed as the presentation became wonderfully clear and specific. The bad news is that I cannot sell and recoup the cost of the Sigma V2 
It still amazes me that something this preliminary in a system can make such a difference.
I’ve been told numerous times that the little noise reductions devices on the Shunyata Sigma shouldn’t be used but I’ve yet to hear a better ethernet cable for the money. I was once again reminded how good it is after playing with the ND555 to try a get rid of the glare connected to the new FW update - I’d substituted some Catsnake, which I think is really good. Needless to say that once the ND555 was sounding ok I changed back to the Sigma and it was a complete revelation. The most naturally toned and beautifully timed cable I’ve ever heard, pure bliss and just takes the system to the next level.
So I had my most expensive cable the Omega after the Etherregen going into the Bryston BDP2,
Some say to put the best digital cable at the end of the flow, but with power cables you want the best at the beginning. So I switched the Omega and Sigma, with the Omega coming from the Google modem (powered by LPS with Ansuz pc) and going into the Etherregen. The first few songs had me thinking I would switch them back, but by a half hour in, the Omega was settled in enough that I was delighted with my experiment. The music was more forceful and forward which works best with my pop and rock music. Perhaps someone who listens to classical or acoustic would prefer it the other way.
You should listen to the new Lucifertek. Nothing comes close.
Sounds much too close to Neotech for my liking. I think I’ll give it a miss! 
You miss finally nothing, your system is too noisy to give it justice. 
I’m going to run an ethernet cable around the outside of the house to feed system without having to rely on wifi so much.
The run will be from router to a switch feeding two streamers and then anything else I fancy…
I figure I have a couple of options here. Is there an advantage in either:
A) Having one single cable with no breaks/sockets from the router, through one wall, around the house, back through the other wall and straight into the switch.
Or
B) Installing an rj45 socket at exit and entry points on walls and then essentially having three lengths of cable, one from router to exit point socket, one long run around outside the house and then finally one shorter cable from entry point to switch?
I can do either in a discrete and aesthetically pleasing manner!
I would just run a single cable no joints.
You can buy the cable and put the ends on yourself, it’s very easy to do with the plastic tool.
This way you can drill much smaller holes, and it’s easier to feed into difficult places, etc.
Yep, the mechanics of either option are fine (I already have ‘holes in the wall’ at each end for coaxial cables, I just need to increase the bore of both to allow for two cables, the second being ethernet).
I would 100% use a single cable as said. I would run right to your switch with no joints.
This is what i did but inside.
I would also buy a cable that has a screen in it.
I’ve taken a lot of these discussions with a pinch of salt as I failed to hear any significant changes with mostly lower end Ethernet cable’s and thought my old ears at 55 couldn’t tell the difference.
I got an itch and tried the Shunyata Sigma Ethernet cable that arrived yesterday afternoon and within the first few seconds, I knew what all your praises are about.
My view now is that this cable is just as important as any other interconnect cables.
So thank you @Geko @drago and all the others that have contributed to the various threads on Ethernet cable’s.
I’m glad you like it. It’s one of those rare finds in this hobby that I think pushes the envelope a bit. There’s a lot out there that promises a lot but usually just ends up sounding different and not necessarily better! I spent a long time in search of something that moved my system along, without coughing up for something like an S1 Pre and the Shunyata Sigma seems to fit the bill nicely. You’ll enjoy discovering all those little nuances that you never knew existed. 
Agree with others about using a single length of cable, then terminating the ends yourself.
Did some data cabling Installtions many years ago and the specs always stated single run with no joins.
Also CCTV companies always do single run cables.
DG…
Go for one single run with no breaks/sockets.
Check that the ethernet cable is weather proof as they are designed to run internally. You may have to insert into some trunking’ Co-ax cable is weather proof and is designed to be run externally.
