With the Reference Ethernet, QED has created a technically sophisticated connection that not only proves its qualities such as noise immunity or the absence of crosstalk on measuring equipment, but of course also has a positive sonic impact in the intended sense - that is the clear message. In view of the sometimes astronomical prices that are called for other network cables that are also specially designed for audio applications, the price for the QED Reference Ethernet is extremely reasonable, which earns it a definite recommendation.   Olaf Sturm
