Adding a Cisco Gigabit Switch


I was reading that the signal coming in from my cable router carries a lot of noise.  My Pro-ject Stream Box S-2 Streamer is connected from my cable router to my streamer via Cat 5e.  I recall reading that adding a Cisco Gigabit switch in line from the cable router would reduce noise and re-clock the signal at the same time.
what are the thoughts and opinions on this addition?   Should I upgrade the 5e to a higher level Cat?

Are you having a problem with noise? Have you narrowed it down to the streamer if you are? Couldn't be from something else?
