@luvtubes69 I was describing my experience in my system and I thought that was implied. 
I used the stuff I bought from amazon

I set up my streaming with EERO mesh network. My Purist Audio Ethernet cable is 1m in length. It is connected to iFi gizmo on the EERO side and feeds my streamer directly.
My audio components are on two dedicated lines - one for Boulder 866 integrated amp, another for Aurender N200 streamer and Bricasti M3 DAC. 
The EERO mesh node is at least 1m away from my components and cables and it is plugged into a completely different circuit so there’s no chance for the EERO SMPS to contaminate the AC line my system is plugged into and near zero EMI and RFI pollution from it due to its proximity to the rest of my gear.


Ethernet cables make a difference, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. Adding additional crapola to my system, converters, filters and switches is unnecessary clutter that contains boxes that generate additional EMI, RFI and AC line noise. That’s my personal approach after testing various tweaks and I won’t be revisiting this in the foreseeable future. I’d rather direct funds to upgrading components and cables than to fart around with network. 
 

@audphile1 usually the cheap stuff like the Amazon offers is not going to make a positive impact.  At least you tried, the wrong stuff but you tried. Like I did with PC and they did nothing. 

 

Lol yeah. I tried the wrong FMC stuff. I also tried plenty of wrong power cords and they’re no longer in my system. If power doesn’t make a difference in your system but network tweaks do, there’s something seriously wrong with your network and your equipment. 
 

I have the NA Muon Pro, like @fastfreight.

 It is extraordinary.

 Have an English Electric switch plugged into a Nordost QBase Reference.

 

Pure audio nirvana.

awesome @dougthebiker .  I also had the English Electric (Bonn 8) switch.  

There are similar benefits to be had with a next level switch.
