I am using a headless Mac Mini as a music server, so for me it was just more convenient to do it with 2 computers. Thinking about it, I see no reason why you wouldn‘t be able to perform the same with one PC. It would be very interesting to hear any results, if you give it a try.
I am myself considering doing a similar measurement, but to see if it‘s possible to quantify the differences I hear between a Habst BNC and a Canare 12G-SDI 4K UHD Single-Channel BNC Cable between my Mutec Ref-10 and Mutec MC-3+.

REW has an integrated test tone generator which plays without a delay. If you play some files via REW via streaming which usually introduces a delay the measurement will be unusable.
For this you can maybe use Carma from Audionet. This is using a file-based testtone and starts as soon as it recognized the sound. That should give more reasonable results.

The Habst was kindly lent to me to try out, but after hearing it in my system, will most probably buy it. All the raving on other forums has a reason. I was very happy with the Oyaide cable after having tried out the Pasternack cable and the Black Cat Silverstar, but found out the Habst is in a different league. This is also after adding up to 20 ferrites to the other cables. Will still use the Oyaides for my sMS-200 Ultra and tX-USBultra, but the Mutec MC-3+ just is clearly best with the Habst.
