Yes, ML has more cables, however I do not know if the charcteristics of the cables are the same.

As I am interested in cabling of a flat, my dealer showed me a solution which included Ethernet cables (CAT 7) to all speakers/devices with Adapters to PowerLink and MasterLink, so going to an Ethernet-based ML solution would be ideal for me then.

Cheers,

I've seen the Lexcom Cat7 to ML cables, but i cant help but wonder, if you can have a Cat7 ethernet cable around your house, which terminates in ML, how come you can't just have it the other way round? If the cable exists which converts Cat7 to ML why isnt it possible the other way around?

On the side, I had my apartment wired with ML about 8 months ago, and turned down a Cat5 setup in order to have ML for my B&O products. I'll be quite ticked off if the new digital ML doesn't provision for existing ML setups. Admittedly I only have one TV, so transfer of high def content to a link TV isnt necessary, but nonetheless...

Each cable has its own properties. Maybe a CAT 7 is gound enough to transport the sound signal, but I do not know if the ML cable is good enough to transport an Ethernet signal. That does not mean it cannot be done.

This doc shows the ML to Ethernet adaptor.
