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!

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.

What's odd about asking to handle the matter privately? Maybe you expect that by posting on the forum, others will pay once you loose  🤣
