I cannot upvote you enough, as I've been through similar problems many times. But in your case you could just re-crimp one side of your cable with unshielded connector. This is actually a good practice not only for noise and ground-loop preventions, but electrical safety too. Also, CAT.6 doesn't require shielding like FTP/SFTP/etc. - I'm using a CAT.6 UTP right now.

And anti-audiophiles are sometime becoming even worse than manical audiophiles - because of their deep blind belief in their educated superiority (while in reality it's a bit .. untrue).

There's usually a grain of truth in that audiophile nonsense, that it could in theory have some material basis in reality. The problem is the complete rejection of the scientific method.
