Any SATA or Ethernet, for that matter, cable will do it's SATA or Ethernet digital work.When it's done, it's done - 1's and 0's are moved where they should. Then again, there is an electromagnetic noise around them. In audio world, noise could enter in many ways. Noise, million times less than the signal is still perfectly audible. Billion times - well, not perfectly, but still audible (even not by everyone).
So, a the real challenge in digital audio is not the digital part, but making the digital one to not mess the analog part instead. This is much harder and involves a lot of work on both the digital and the analog side. $500 ethernet cables - well, at least I can't hear THAT much. SATA vs SuperSATA - well, maybe...
