Does using an old pre 3D HDMI cable matter when using a 3D player?

I just got a new Oppo 103 and it comes with a new filtered 3D/4K-compatible HDMI cable, but I still have an old pre-3D filtered HDMI cable running down from my TV threaded thru the cabinet that I just hooked into the new 103. But what I noticed is that I'm getting an extraordinary amount of digital noise that suddenly pops up in my disc play backs. It's a type of digital noise that I've never seen before. I'm just wondering if I swap out the old wire with the new if it would clear that up?
