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.

Here what I have done, not sure if I can improve without significant cost?

COX router, WiFi disabled, connected to separate switch and router. 20ft blue jeans cat 6 to stack audio smoothlan, then 1.5 m DH Labs Ethernet to streamer and DH labs USB to DAC.

All audio equipment except amp plugged into Equi=Core 20 amp balanced power supply.

Home wifi has 2 access points, both about as far from the listening room as they can be.
