Ethernet patch cable 5e with cat 6e

As noted, the main thing you are losing is shielding. If you have a highly resolving system and streamer that is sensitive to noise, it could make a difference. Trying a full length Cat 6 will give you your answer. Blue Jeans will make you any length at relatively low cost. 

Yes I have a highly resolving system.  So using 6E is much more advantageous to use versus any lesser Cable due to shielding.

Isn't it all about the shielding at this point? A lowly cat 5 probably has all the capacity you need but it's all about the noise impacting sound, either for streaming movies or hi-fi.  Is all that a good interpretation?

Thanks, Great comments

I would like to hear from people who have actually compared the two types, to see if the shielding makes any notable difference, rather than speculation.

@peter_s -- regardless of what other people hear, or think they hear, it is always going to be up to an individual user as to whether something like this makes a difference or not in their system. 

And, one other thought not mentioned previously, in this particular case, the extra expense to run an all-6e cable is virtually nothing compared to what is often spent on stereo equipment. Unless, of course, one is devoted to finding a super-exclusive audiophile Cat-6e cable. But that's a whole 'nother topic...
