I use an Audioquest Cinnamon cable between my router and my BeagleBone Black based music server. I use Audioquest Forest between the Raspberry Pi I use as a NAS and the router. I use another Forest in my B&W MM-1/Raspberry Pi portable music system. I can't say I've done a listening test to compare them with standard cables, but they do look very nice.What the hell is it with people and audio kit. The more I look around the network audio forums and the equipment and cables aimed at them, the more I realise just how many numpities populate the planet.http://www.the-ear.net/review-hardware/audioquest-ethernet-cables-pt2-ethernet-cable
If you are having networking problems, look at faster routers/switches or sort out the QOS on what you have, but these really are not going to help, The TCP/IP protocol is pretty well sorted to handle out of sequence packets, lost packets, flow and congestion control, so unless you have a really poor network setup, the receiver always gets good data transfer. If not, and you suffer from dropouts then look into your network , not bling cables.
There has been a recent discussion on Computer Audiophile on how on earth could ethernet cables make a difference to sound quality. A guy from Blue Jeans Cable knows a lot about how they work, and gave some useful technical details about ethernet cables. Those cables really aren't very expensive (30 dollars for 20 feet):
