ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
@toddalin - It can be done, but who exactly needs it - as in who would pay for it. Audiophile community does not care. Speaker measurements exists because they are used in professional audio where no one "just trust their ears". Now, imaging is a ... 
Ethernet
@antigrunge2 - where does it mess with USB and how? SPDIF - sure. This is why no one should be using coax. I am yet to hear explanation on USB. Ethernet even more resilient. Everything is retransmitted if there is an error. Again - your email does...

@calvinj OP - have you noticed sound changes with the amount of consumed adult beverages? So there :-) Also, never underestimate how furniture, rearranged by your SO affects the sound!  
Yes, digital cables matter too
Why would anyone use coax cable?  
Ethernet
Blue Jeans is what you want. Anything over is a scam. Ask yourself - does Amazon (Tidal, etc) use $1000 Ethernet cables in their data centers? No? Why would you?  
ifi LAN iSilencer
So what does it "silence" exactly in the Ethernet protocol  
Beware, scammers everywhere
How’s about this - "no, I don’t see twice the amount on my account. So I am not wiring anything back. You can take it with your bank or sue me. Good luck." Wire per se is not necessarily a bad thing. You know, businesses do it all the time...  
Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.

It depends on sensitivity of specific unit to cable change. Tube gear is typically most sensitive, with older, simpler designs being most sensitive.  
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
@coppy777 - it is way cheaper to buy an EQ or Dirac-capable DAC than to EQ room by changing speakers.

As always, GR is right. Another "audiophile" company sells poorly engineered, but "audiophile" piece of nice furniture.

@toddalin - pretty easily by waterfall and some calculations of the sound field distribution across the room.   
ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
@spenav - there is nothing "unknown" in USB or Ethernet protocol. Your signed mortgage documents do not change with time and ripped music does not lose any bits sitting on a hard drive :-) Are you concerned that music file may change when you copy... 
ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
@calvinj OP - if, and only if change can at least theoretically affect the sound. Change is Sun position in the galaxy is also a change. Neutrinos passing by have gravitational field that affect human brain. It is 10 in minus 100 power, but some ...

Real differences are always measurable. Otherwise it is not science but faith.
