Sorry, but a Balanced AES Digital connection has much different requirements to a standard Ethernet connection which adds a whole layer of Error Correction and Packet Retransmission etc, etc that a Digital PCM stream does not have

If the original Cat 5 cable was Unshielded, then PERHAPS RFI interference is a concern (even though the ID41 has built in RFI filters)

I might consider using one of these Audioquest cables to see if it makes my personal finances spreadsheet look any better wink
