OP,
My setup seems most similar to yours. I run a chromecast audio via optical into a peachtree decco65. I had a 50’ cat 7 cable, so I figured I’d buy $12 ethernet adapter and connect the cable to the chromecast. This tweak made the least difference in all the tweaks I’ve tried so far. I think I can point to a difference in a specific song, but the difference was very minimal--about 99.9% on my setup.
Like you, I’m entirely plugged into the wall. Besides a LPS, the improvement I’m eyeing is the iFi SPIDF reclocker for $150. It purports to isolate the upstream noise, is powered by it’s own low noise power supply, and reclocks the stream. For our low budget streamers, the iFi reclocker seems like a better choice then a LPS for the streamer. At our price range, I wonder whether LPS’s for the streamer and router would make a difference after the iFi reclocker were introduced.
