Well, it’s probably in my head, but I swear I hear an improvement in Tidal. I’m not good at describing variances in audio quality, but it sounds fuller, more body, not as tinny. Works for me....

I too have heard profound differences with better quality Ethernet

"so we've asked Belden to manufacture special patch-cord-optimized Cat 6 and Cat 6a cable stocks for us which we terminate and sell under the Blue Jeans Cable brand. With all of these cables, we use Sentinel brand RJ-45 connectors, manufactured in York, Pennsylvania."

"With each Ethernet cable you purchase from us you'll receive a test report showing exactly how that cable performed when run through our Fluke DTX-1800, and confirming that it meets or exceeds the specification requirements for its category."

Yep, me, too.

And, I also notice differences in HDMI cables used for video; they make an improvement you can see with your own two eyes, crisper images, better detail and yes...blacker blacks! I know it's a cliché, but it's true.

I'm using Shunyata Venom HDMI, BTW.
