No two anything are ever exactly the same, but in practice, I do not notice much difference using different digital cables, though it is certainly always a possibility in any particular case, especially when noise factors as mentioned come more into play.
I notice much more difference in general with analog ICs and recently even with power cords on DACs where I think noise factors are often a bigger issue.
I'd consider the effect a power cord like Pangea ac-14 designed to address source level noise issues specifically might have compared to digital IC, which is a much tougher call I'd say.
