Released: 23rd March 2016.

There is nothing much to this release, this is just a minor release that fixes some of the bugs from 'Schumann Resonance'.

At the time I was thinking every release (even the minor versions) should have a Audiophile Snakeoil product. Seemed like a good idea then. Why Ethernet

One of the more popular audiophile clickbait around that time was about the AudioQuest $10,000 Ethernet cables (late Dec 2015). Never mind that the cable do not actually cost $10 k, never mind those who do not have anything good to say about it actually own a good enough audio system to really comment. But discussion of that topic is getting traction all around the world, and no doubt generate a fair bit of ad revenues for all those involved 😈.

Why Ethernet

The Snakeoil Squad have never personally tested the above cable.

However, yours truly have tested all the Ethernet cables I have in my bin and do use the ones that just appear to sound better than the rest. There really shouldn't be any audible difference between Ethernet cables of the same length. There really shouldn't, and yet there is 🙉.

Once again like the Schumann Resonator, the Ethernet cable is one of just many mystery devices that may well cause a difference. And like almost every thing in audio, we have no idea why.
