No it wouldn't, theres no analog info, all is 1 & 0 as in digital format. if 100% packet data isn't delivered it simply wouldn't play. Digital signal really is on or off. Analog on the other hand can be manipulated should there be need.
So what happens with so many audiophiles that notice the difference, not to mention the manufacturers themselves?
I can not speak for my own experience, yet, but I'm curious to test my next ETH cables.
I am also a skeptic on this subject.
They want to hear a difference so they do... i doubt any audiophile ethernet cable manufacturer could stand up in court and provide a technical data sheet explaining why they think their 1m cable can transform a signal coming down 10,000m of cables and magically make it 'transform' into and 'audiophile standard' ..... tiz bollox of the highest order IMHO.
I admit to SSDs sounding better as does my QNAP TS-251+ (8GB RAM) over my previous TS-214 with 6TB HDDS and only 512mb RAM. The new NAS was a clear winner. I also noticed a difference between freebie CAT5 and the current CAT7 but on inspection i found the CAT5 to be copper coated alloy conductors. The Postta CAT7 cables i use now are 99.99% OFC copper and cost £6 & £8 each.
