Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch

I am running a SGC sonic transporters i5 with a Bricasti M5 streamer and M3 Dac.

Thinking of trying to upgrade the sound a bit.  I wonder what is the most cost effective way; linear power supply vs network switch vs the optical unit from SGC.

Any thoughts?

Clearly many different routes to try.

Has anyone tried the Farad LPS with the SGC?

@mdrone  Not heard Farad PS, but based on reports from various forums these are first class LPS. If their ATX LPS had been available I may have chosen it over the JCAT Optimo ATX LPS I ended up purchasing.

Also chassis grounding the FMC into a Entreq or similar device and grounding the switch also improves the SQ.

any thoughts of isolating the server and modem from the other components?  And more importantly, if that is not an option whats the most effective work around?
