Ehernet cable question in streaming systems


I want to install a "better" ethernet cable  between my streamer and remote wireless Google pod (my stereo system is in the basement}.  My question is this:  Should I also get a better ethernet cable between my router and modem (up stairs in my office) at the same time?  My thinking is, when I  upgrade the cable to my streamer, shouldn't the cheap, Google supplied cable between the modem and hub router be replaced too?  Thanks, Jim

I just upgraded to a Supra CAT8 based on a recommendation on a different thread. Significant improvement in sound over the CAT6.

The point @sailboat is making that data is only being supplied to the processing component.
Good cable runs are helpful, an example would be Shielded Cable.

And that's why Supra CAT8 is being recommended. Separate shielding on each conductor.
Yes, it's data being transmitted.
