I really recommend a Shunyata Ethernet cable. Even the entry level Venom is considerably better sounding than any of the competitive cables I tested, including AQ.

The minimal length for Shunyata Ethernet cables is 1.5M for technical but important reasons (1.5M is the minimal length to mitigate the impact of reflections in the signal; the impact of this is audible).

If you can afford Delta or better, I'd recommend that as they have the sonically superior Telegartner connectors.
