I have no audio on Ethernet but I can't imagine the quality of the cable NOT having some influence. I work for a company that we specialize in Industrial Automation products. Everything talks to one another over Ethernet or in my world Profinet. PLC;s talking to Variable Frequency Drives, Industrial PC's etc. We DO NOT use your Radio Shack / Walmart cables. We use a industrialized cable that is shielded to protect the signals from noise. We actually terminate the cables with shielded Metal connectors made specifically for this cable. I am not sure you would need that, but if you think you would let me know.
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
I stream music via TIDAL and the only cable in my system that is not an "Audiophile" cable is the one going from my Gateway to my PC, it is a CAT6 cable. Question is, do "Audiophile" Ethernet cables make any difference/ improvement in sound quality?
Any and all feedback is most appreciated, especially if you noted improvements in your streaming audio SQ with a High-End Ethernet cable.
Thanks!
