Ethernet source

I'm trying, somewhat desparetely, to improve the sound quality of streaming which presently I wouldn't even say is up to cd quality, even though I,ve been streaming hi-res files on qobuz.  My streaming device is a Sonore ultrarendu.  I,m limited in terms of Ethernet access where my system is located.  I,ve been using a net gear power line device to obtain Ethernet off of 120v circuitry.  There is, however,
an Ethernet port on my tv cable box.  Would I be better off using that as opposed to the net gear?

I just bought this switch for my Fibre Optical setup.

https://www.ui.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-8-150w/  ($199)

I have a OpticalRendu just sitting on my rack waiting for the Sonore Linear Power Supply and DC5 cable to be built and shipped. I also have a Sonore microRendu with their default switched mode power supply.  I am going to be using both with 2 DACs. I will compare both the Optical and micro on 1 DAC to see if my money was spent wisely.

That switch I listed above is seriously high quality. I do not hear a difference on RJ45 compared to my old TP-Link  (nor was I expecting a diff).  The Fibre Optical is the reason I bought this switch but even without using FIbre this is an incredibly well built switch.
