The network connection sits inside a noisy environment of routers, switches, power supplies, racks, and nearby electronics before the music reaches the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen streaming is the everyday source, the cable between network components becomes part of the audio path. A better connection can help the system sound calmer, more spacious, and more continuous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChosen for High-Quality Network Audio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe chose the Chord Epic Streaming cable because it is designed specifically for streaming audio. Chord describes it as using high-quality silver-plated conductors, high-speed insulation, high-density shielding, and a precision RJ45 connector modified so the conductors can be soldered directly to the contact pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat last detail matters. The connector is often the weak point in a network cable, and Chord's approach gives the streaming path a more complete end-to-end construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Specs Won't Tell You\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming Feels More Relaxed and Continuous.\u003c\/strong\u003e Better shielding and conductor quality help reduce the noise that can make streamed music feel tense or flattened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpace Around the Music Is Easier to Hear.\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density shielding helps protect the connection from noise around racks, switches, and power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Connector Is Part of the Upgrade.\u003c\/strong\u003e The modified precision RJ45 connector allows the conductors to be soldered directly to the contact pins, strengthening a part of the cable that is easy to overlook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Audio Two Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpic Streaming is the cable we would consider when streaming has become the main source and the rest of the system is ready for a better network connection. It makes sense between router and switch, switch and streamer, or switch and networked amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a stronger step than simply cleaning up the rack. It helps the streaming source feel more like a serious front end, with better ease, more natural space, and less of the tension that can creep into digital playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTech You Can Hear\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat You Hear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhy It Happens\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStreaming sounds calmer and more continuous\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-density shielding helps reduce noise around the network connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMore space around voices and instruments\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-quality silver-plated conductors support cleaner signal behaviour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBetter flow from a main streamer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-speed insulation is designed for streaming audio use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA more complete end-to-end connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModified precision RJ45 connector lets conductors solder directly to contact pins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCleaner rack and room integration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard lengths support router, switch, streamer, and networked amplifier placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpic Streaming digital audio cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for streaming audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality silver-plated conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed insulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-density shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModified precision RJ45 connector with direct conductor-to-contact soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable lengths: 1m through 10m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Audio Two\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio Two ships across Canada.
