What can I do between the wall and my streamer/DAC?

I have AT&T fiberoptic internet and the AT&T supplied router. I then have generic ethernet cable to the music room in the basement to the back of my Lumin T2. Is the anything I can do to make this a better sounding situation? I feel it sound very good as is, just wondering if I am leaving some goodness on the table with this set-up, Thanks, Allen.

Lose the wall. Most mesh routers provide better SQ. And as a bonus better WiFii coverage. Then if you want to squeeze the lemon, put an ENO in between. Fanatics claim converting to fiber in between is even better. Meh.

IMHO you'll get more enjoyment putting those considerable funds into a favorite DAC.

To know if it could be improved would require investigation into the data rate limitations and if you are dropping packets with your current set up.  There are ways to determine this.  If you are not having issues with the system, meaning it is functioning properly, than changing to another properly functioning system that performs the same and under the same standard may not yield better results.

Fuzztone beat me to it, I second the ENO streaming package, which comes with their amazing ENO Ag LAN cable on both ends. Adding ENO would get rid of digital hash and make your T2 more musical and enjoyable. They do offer 30 days return privileges so you got nothing to lose. BTW, T2 as a streamer/DAC is an amazing performer. Add a ENO and you’re done!

PS: Just ignore the Network engineers nerds and naysayers :-)
