Absolutely my experience too.
My system noise floor got strpped so low I can easily hear the noise floor of many recordings, as in the hiss and ambiance of the recording gear and studio or recording studio when there is silence. And consequently even little changes I make to my network are audible, even way upstream right out of the national network termination box which in my case has 1 EtherRegen, a fibre link, a 10Gbe router, an EX and wifi from there to the endpoint. It is simultaneously a curse and a blessing. But with some work and tweaking it sounds quite exceptional.
