Hard to believe all the crap that flows thru an ethernet cable

So apparently lots of crappy stuff needs to be cleaned up from your ethernet cable before reaching a dac.  
And to thoroughly clean it up you are wise to spend $1300 for an optical rendu device, and sound quality drastically improves.  Wow. Sounds like a great deal.  
I guess a really good dac with galvanic stuff going on and strong pwer control needs more help.

do i really need a rendu device? I see it on high end systems so that seems good.

Just for reference what sort of "crap" are you hearing or measuring?

If this is another everyone says there's crap so there must be crap and I need to worry about it question, then ignore my question.

I connect my streamer to my router with Cat6a cable about 50ft long since the router is in my home office..

If wireless works, it didn't for me to many dropouts, that would take care of noise problems. Could be a ground issue.
