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!

@acepilot71 I’m a guy who knows a lot of stuff about a lot of things - but I rarely post.    I’m also a pilot, but not an Ace, as I’ve never shot anyone down.

I confess. I do not have an engendering degree. Sob! 😥

FYI I just got through with my lecture on why no proof is required on another thread, and why all have to work with usually is evidence and why proof, even when there is proof, is subjective. Too bad you missed the lecture. Maybe I’ll give it again. Stay tuned.

@dimora I’ve recognized the headset on your pic. Acepilot is a nickname which was geaven to me in university and I got stuck with it.

I just need #sarcasm sometimes.

I posted pretty much the same arguments as you did - I guess if someone wants to spend money on cat7, 8, 9 - whatever, let them do it.

I agree.  We’ve stated the actual facts based on how ethernet cables actually work.  The rest of the voodoo anyone else may wish to promote will have to be caveat emptor on the buyer’s part.
