think twice about what you say! amirm has already tested that some dac react to cables. I go a step further and say that cable bendings can have an influence.
The link you posted is about Ethernet cables - yes, structurally, ultimate performance (data rate) depends on integrity. That being said, the performance degradation they talk about lowers the data rate below spec, but way above what you need anyway.
Cat 5e is able to deliver 125MB/s which is enough to deliver a 4.5GB BR disk in less than one minute (over 100m).
Assuming is degrades to Cat 5 level you are at 12.5MB/s (over 100m)
Streaming a CD at 1411 kbps requires 0.176 MB/sec.
That means, give or take a bit, that you could still sustain more than 50 streams simultaneously.
Now, I don't know how to repeat this in a way that works, but what leaves the data center, the hard drive, your telco's equipment is exactly what arrives at your place. If there is a random uncorrected bit error, bad stuff happens. Really bad stuff. If those errors were frequent, civilization as we know it would stop. Your car would stop, planes would fall out of the sky and the power grid would be a memory in most of the world.
The Blu-ray disk you are copying may be available a bit later on a twisted/strained cable, but rest assured all the pixels and bits of soundtrack will be there.
And finally, the impact of that damage can be
measured (data rate, number of retries or corrected errors, etc...)
There are a few catches in audio, for example the fact that the old optical interfaces we use aren't error correcting and (weren't) self synchronizing. Those things literally count bits. Not so with Ethernet. Ethernet, unless physically damaged or stupidly implemented, has more than enough bandwidth and error correction to make sure everything works, always.
