Hi Pos, I missed something here...what were you actually doing?  From what souce to what destination?  I use USB between devices and eithernet only to access the web.  
Hi Go,

The ethernet cable connects from my "szd" box to the computer for internet
service. I use the usb cable from the computer to my modified DAC.

Dan and I found, at both our residence systems, that changing either
cable to other brands affects the sonic quality.

Inside the windows 10 computer, one can alter from normal redbook
(16/44.1k) to other settings, such as 16/48k, 16/82k, 16/96k, 24/44k and up,
32/44k and up. Changing just the computer's settings alters the sonics.
(My DAC can automatically handle up to 24/192k).

For everyone, if one wishes to test their system.

1. In windows 10, go to "Control Panel", click "Sound".

2. Click on the green arrow to highlight.

3. Click on "Properties" in the bottom right (above "Apply").
Another box opens up.

4. Click on "Advanced" at the top.
Another box opens and you will see the default setting.

5. Click on it and another box opens with lots of different settings
such as 24/44, 24/88, maybe even 32/44 and up, as examples.
Click the setting you want to try and click "Apply".
Click yes if another box opens.

That is about it. I found some settings may not alter the sonics as
much as other settings.

I also have three different audio programs in my win 10.

Windows Media Player
VLC Media Player
Media Player

Right now I am using "Media Player" for audio and "VLC Media Player" for
video movies.

Sorry I was not as clear as I could have been. Cheers

pos
