I had a 20ft cat7 ethernet connection to my Transporter. Much better shielding than the cat5e. To make a long story short - I didnt really notice a difference when I switched out from the cat5e. When it broke the cat7 I put the el-cheapo cat5e back in. Again - no difference.
I'm not saying that shielding etc. makes no difference! What is encouraging, is the ethernet or wifi path to transmitting data to the DAC.
