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?

No issues with noise.   I have been reading About and discussing a re-clocking device with a friend who has the Wyred 4 Sound Femto re-clocker.   After reading a recommendation for the Cisco switch it was a less expensive way to get a re-clocker that offered potential NR and RC at the same time.

Thanks to all for the insightful advice!!   I always feel grateful for the help and ideas here.
