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!

@lalitk and OP,

Agreed. I bought a Supra CAT 8 after experiencing several generic CAT 5 & 6 cables. I can hear an improvement that is worthwhile for the small increment in cost. My audio sub-net is just 1M in all directions, so it’s easy to experiment with EN cables. Ignore the nay-sayers.
