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!

Another flaky digital cable thread....  
They make NO difference. So long as the cable supports the ethernet configuration, it makes NO difference. This stuff is obvious. I can't believe people come here and debate this stuff in a serious way.  If you think you're hearing differences in your purely digital cables like your HDMI and ethernet cables, it's PURELY in your head. Go read the actual specifications for these interconnects. I have
You've just proven your own expectation bias. Congratulations.

Nobody who knows how this stuff actually works would conclude you can hear a difference.
Are you actually claiming to speak for the entire spectrum of all knowledgeable people?

Where exactly does your insanity start and end?
So anyone who questions your claim is insane?

Coax is like a freaking lightning rod. I've been running cable modems since 2001 and I lose one to a lightning strike about every 18 to 24 months. I just had one replaced last week.
There's obviously something very wrong with your installation if you suffer this problem. You might want to call in an expert.

You are lashing out like a petulant child.

Your babbling and incoherent posts have not contributed or rebutted anything.

Give it a very long rest.

What planet are you from?
I'm from earth. That may be a different planet than yours.

I guess I’m biased ...
Big time!

I'm not like you who cobbles together whatever hocus-pocus I can find with no expectations ...
Pardon me, but your bias a.k.a. prejudice is showing again. You don't know anything about me, so please don't pretend that you do.

According to your logic, we can only know it won’t work if when the thing explodes.
Of course I never said that, or implied that. You seem to have some problems. Good luck resolving them.
