For me the Wireworld Starlight CAT8 Ethernet cable made a notable difference compared to stock CAT6 cable between router and music server/streamer.
Improving streaming SQ
I have an Aurender A10 and stream Tidal and Qobuz. I'm looking for an easy and cost effective way to to improve streaming sound quality as it seems to fall a little short of my ripped CD's. Artistic Fidelity makes an ethernet galvanic isolator (GISO GB) that plugs in between the CAT 6 cable and the Aurender. I'm wondering if any one has tried this or a similar product and what your experience was. I don't think this product is available in the USA, but I can get one shipped from Germany for 299 euros. As always, any and all comments are appreciated!

If you can manage, try the SoTM cable. I am using this cable with my N10...amazing sounding cable with a on board filter, very effective in lowering the noise floor. https://sotm-usa.com/products/sotm-dcbl-cat7-lan-cable |
Here is the best recipe for your configuration, assuming you are using USB from the Aurender: 1) AQVOX switch added to your router 2) 0.5m Wireworld Platinum Ethernet cable 3) EMO EN-70e isolator 4) 2.0m Wireworld Platinum Ethernet cable Your Aurender N10 5) 1.5m Wireworld Platinum USB cable 6) SOtM USB regenerator: https://sotm-usa.com/collections/sotm-ultra/products/copy-of-tx-usbultra-regenerator-1 7) 1.5m Wireworld Platinum USB cable Your DAC The improvement with all of these will blow your mind.
