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 recently added a Chord Sarum Super Aray streaming (ethernet) cable, its audible and enhances sound quality. I would describe it as a subtle upgrade. I stream Tidal.

If you have quality gear its a worthwhile upgrade, otherwise I would skip as the result will be close to insignificant.

@joeeuro do you mind to post your streaming part of the configuration, i.e. what kind of internet, modem, what media player etc.
Path from the internet to the DAC

How much did you pay for the cable?

sorry for being nosy...
