Help optimizing my streaming setup

My streaming setup is pretty simple and sounds very good right now, but I'm wondering if I can do anything between the router and the streamer to make it better.  I'm not interested in a DAC upgrade at this time.  My virtual system is not up to date.  The system is:

Verizon FIOS router>6 meter DH Labs Reunion Cat 8 ethernet cable>Aurender N100SC>Oyaide DR-510 spdif>DAC

Since I'm able to hardwire the streamer to the router, would a switch provide any benefit?  I'm aware of the Eno that some of you guys seem to like and have been looking into them.  Would an LPS for the router do anything?  Is there anything else I can do?

Yes to a ethernet filter like the ENO or SOtM dcbl.

Yes to the EtherRegen using it as a "Moat".  The ER is better with a good LPS and a better clock.  The clock needs a good LPS also.

Managing AC noise with something like an Akiko Corelli and ground noise with something like a CAD GC1 will give you a blacker background.
