Audio Grade Ethernet Cable

I've been thinking about getting a DH Labs ethernet cable. My thought is to get my crappy router as close to my Bryston BDP 3 as possible, so that the cable is only 0.5 meters. I do have a TeraDak LPS connected to the router. Is this a waste of time and money? I know the cable is just a couple hundred dollars but I don't want to spend that much just to realize again that my local files will always be preferable.

We've long heard the same argument used in regard to AC and the last few feet.

I concluded the Aurender N200 streamer must be better than the Byston because streaming sounds as good as internal played files on Aurender.

@ghdprentice The fact that I have a free standing DAC negates any possibility that I’ll buy an Aurender 200.

The Aurender N200, N250, N20... etc are streamers only... no DAC. This their primary business although they do make some combined Streamer / DACs. Their Conductor app, used for controlling them is very well regarded as well.
