Help optimizing my streaming setup


My streaming setup is pretty simple and sounds very good right now, but I'm wondering if I can do anything between the router and the streamer to make it better.  I'm not interested in a DAC upgrade at this time.  My virtual system is not up to date.  The system is:

Verizon FIOS router>6 meter DH Labs Reunion Cat 8 ethernet cable>Aurender N100SC>Oyaide DR-510 spdif>DAC

Since I'm able to hardwire the streamer to the router, would a switch provide any benefit?  I'm aware of the Eno that some of you guys seem to like and have been looking into them.  Would an LPS for the router do anything?  Is there anything else I can do?

If you have Cat 8 Ethernet cable connecting your router and streamer, don’t use any galvanic isolators like EverStar MI-300, cause using it will depreciate protective porpoise of Cat 8 or Cat 7 cable Shilling. Any shielded cable connecting the ground plane between devices and braking up the shilling by galvanic isolator can cause noise.

UpTone Audio etherregen goes between hardwire ethernet from router before the streamer.  $640 Audible Improvement. 

 

My modem is 15m from my system.

I found a network switch made a difference. Bought a Cisco 8 ports unmanaged switch and had Fidelity Audio (UK) install one of their clocks.

Put my modem and switch on a linear power supply.

And bought reasonable ethernet cables. Triode Wire Labs Freedom from wall to switch, and another from the switch to the streamer, with a couple of LAN Isolators.

The uptone Ether regen is excellent also just plug Ethernet cable in to it then on other side your best Ethernet cable and it’s clean of all digital noise 

many great reviews.

Fiber optic cable just before the streamer. Use a tx and rcvr box then a good Ethernet to the streamer. This will effectively take all the noise out of the Ethernet connection from the router. An amazingly cheap upgrade that is very incredibly effective and noticeable!
