Hi Blake:
As I was about the first person to be championing the Amphenol SkewClear DAC cables--I can tell you that yes, that's the one you want!
Cheers,

I've added a third daisy-chained switch in the speaker system.
Sablon ethernet at the wall to first Sotm 10G, then Cisco (to be replaced with Amphenol) > Sotm 10G > Sablon ethernet > Ansuz switch > Stealth Audio Black Magic v.21 ethernet to the streamer.
For the headphone system, I am still just running the 2 daisy-chained Sotm 10G switches, connected with Cisco (to be replaced with Amphenol), Sablon ethernet and also a Sotm Iso Cat7 filter thrown in for good measure.
Does the Amphenol DAC cable have a long break in period? I've had it installed for around a week.
It's nice, but, I prefer my former cable. The transparency/clarity is not improved, and even reduced a bit with the Amphenol and the soundstage is shallower. less spacious with my Amphenol. I'm guessing this could be system matching, as I have no doubt it is a great cable for the rest of you.
Amphenol does have a little bit better bass performance.
Both of my systems already have very good low frequency performance, so, I didn't need any further assistance on this sonic characteristic, and perhaps that is the difference in my findings/preference?

Yes it does and the sound stage was one of the areas for me that improved. Like you initially I thought better bass, and was a little under impressed. I left it in after 3 to 4 weeks having kind of forgotten about I noticed things started sounding much better.
More space was one of the noticed benefits. Bass definition also, I didn’t need any more weight, but this was more like texture of the bass and slight weight increase.
Be interesting to see if that happens in your system.
