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!

No one demanded any up front payment. Links to those posts please. What I remember is that there was an offer of 5:1 ...
Sorry, but upfront payment was demanded, along with other prerequisites. The posts were deleted by the moderators. The promoter of the scheme is quite persistent, so it’s likely you’ll see what he calls an "opportunity" promoted again. Just stay tuned.


Do not mix in "Difference between cables" in analog world and "Difference between Ethernet cables" in digital data transmission.
Ah, the old blind test scam raises its ugly head again. I guess it was just a matter of time. They always threaten blind tests but they don’t wait for the results. Which is really the most important part. 😛

Why not? Did I beak some sacred laws of science? You might’ve missed my note on electromagnetic waves in cables. That’s how information is transferred, all types of information. Even satellite transmissions, which have been digital like forever. 🛰 Hel-loo!

@almarg I believe using music of  Johann Sebastian Bach may not be exactly the same. Liking or disliking music is subjective as well as rating one composer at the very top or " third rate hack as a composer " has a lot of "like" or "dislike" in it.
However if you take a loseless record of that same composer and transfer it over the Ethernet cable - it will not change regardless of the quality of the cable.
It is guaranteed by the network protocol - it will be identical 100%
It is measurable - files are identical if transmission completed successfully.

...and the same person who disliked it will dislike it again ;-)
