Reducing my digital noise floor.

Looking for some insight. I read the forum daily, but participate very infrequently. The seasoned experience and opinions are far beyond my level of knowledge. Thank you in advance for any insights you can impart.
I currently utilize a set of Abyss 1266 Headphones, being driven by a Woo Audio WA33. My source is a Lumin D2 / LPS Via Emotiva Line Conditioner, utilizing Qobuz. All interconnects and ethernet cables are to very high standards.
Concern, my system may be impacted by the quality of the data at the incoming ethernet connection. My speed is very good, I'm more concerned with quality of data. Frankly, I don't know if there are many options as it relates to data access. I have considered a network bridge Melco, Aqua and others, not sure I am chasing something that does not exist.
Any Thoughts?

You could try placing a fiber media converter with SPF module at your router outlet. If your streamer has a fiber network connection, you’d connect a fiber cable between the SPF and streamer. If streamer only has ethernet port, you’d have to add another FMC/SPF connection to convert back to wire.

I have two FMCs and it works well, but I can’t say it’s a significant difference over just straight ethernet cable.

I have recently inserted Network Acoustics ENO Ethernet Filter between my router and very happy with the results. It’s probably the best ‘passive’ device out there that effectively lowers the noise floor within ethernet router and switches. I bought the Ag version package with LAN Ag cable.

Give it a try, it comes with 30 days return policy.
