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!

I am more interested to hear why those who are hearing a difference in the sound of their files via Ethernet cabling think it is happening
If an explanation interests you, you might want to scroll up and read the post from @markalarsen that offers a pretty solid answer. It's at 05-01-2018 11:16am.

 
@t_ramey Jay Luong of Audio Bacon does a terrific job describing the Black cable, in various combinations with other LAN cables, including SoTM’s iSO-CAT 6 filter and dCBL-CAT 7.

Go to the ’My Favorite Combinations’ section (prior to the Conclusion) in Jay’s very thorough article / review:

The Black cable can be chosen as part of the SE bundle but can also be ordered separately. If you are US based (here):

By all means, YOU propose the test methodology. I'll then decide go or no go. All reasonable replies considered. 😎
