If Naim as they have promised are going to send among other things, e.g. parts for 2 active systems to Denmark today, I will get my ns01 on Thirsday!
Until the streaming radio sollution is released for the hdx and other servers, I will only be using the iethernet cable to get meta data about the records on the ns01 from the databases, so not a lot of traffic. However this wikipedia article seem to suggest that cat 7 cables are better shielded against noise? But I have seen no mentioning of cat 7 in the threads about eithernet cables and noice that has been posted over the last weeks.
I have not found a place to buy such a cable, but as I read the article the standard is about 8 years old so they should be available at least from a online supplier.
Of course I will just start out with a regular cat 5 cable, like I did a few years back when I had a HDX on extended loan for a few months, but since this is my own player I will look into these tweaks in more detail than I did at that time.
