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!

cleeds - Perhaps that was your offer. The proposal to which I refer required a $25,000 advance payment and agreement crafted by an attorney for the supposed "protection" of the listener.

You should be a politician. You neglected to mention "escrow". That ends your argument  😎

Still waiting for my phone call from Geoff to make my system sound great. All for the low, low price of $60.

Got to figure out how to hardwire my cell phone so the RFI bogymen don't mess it up.

markinsantamonica - In short answer, it is simply not physically possible for your ethernet cables to make a difference in sound quality.

And that is true, even when you *reverse* it. 🤣

jinjuku - I think a highly credible audiophile is one that is able to validate their hearing in an intellectually honest manner.

And as I've stated elsewhere, that means a blind test. You know, Amy > Bob > Amy > Bob.
