Agree w/Crna39-I believe the overwhelming majority would not be able to hear an extra set of connectors, although there are a very select few who have the ability to hear any change to the signal path.
In pro audio, adding another cable simply changes the length. I've never been able to tell any difference unless the cable was bad or there was a loose connection.
As for dissimilar cables-that would be an interesting experiment. Maybe try one brand on one side & see if you can hear a difference?
