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.

OP, if you follow advice to move the router far away and plug into a different circuit, I have an unused DH Labs ethernet cable which I think is 6M. Switched ISPs and the new company supplied a remote extender entering the floor under the rack holding streamer, which I plugged into line conditioner on audio circuit and switched to a shorter ethernet cable. No detectable increase in noise from prior setup. Anyhow you can have the 6M cable for the cost of shipping if you decide to go that way.
