This null test will tell you what the cable does to the signal that passes through it, but it won't show the effect of the cable on the source. (Extreme example: the capacitance of the cable makes a poorly designed amplifier oscillate. Most fun when this is a tube amplifier and one sees the plates glow red.)
Ultimately, only end-to-end performance matters, namely what makes it through the air and into your ears. Technical examination of the pieces of a playback chain are useful for diagnostic and engineering purposes, but have no functional value to an audiophile.
