High speed, low latency, and low jitter-perfect bit rate communication between these audio components can be maximized by using solid-core silver conductors. The Silver Dragon Ethernet cable utilizes 8 solid core 99.999% pure silver 26AWG Teflon insulated conductors. Cable shielding is required to improve the cable's performance in high electromagnetic environments.

This approach removes the host server computer from the audio playback process, eliminating common issues like noise from PC power supplies, switch-mode voltage regulators, and power over USB. The result is quieter backgrounds, clearer transients, and the elimination of noise and power contamination, thanks to the M5's fully linear power supply.
