So basically, sticking with a standard ethernet connection versus optical in my case of a 25 foot run is not going to make much difference in SQ holy grail?
I do know that when I swapped out my Cisco switch and tried a TrendNet in its place, made a huge negative difference in SQ, where I immediately reinstalled my old Cisco.
I thought Photons only factored in when playing with Star Trek guns
