+1, @rbstehno,

i2S (RJ45 or HDMI) is the way to go! Once you hear a i2S capable DAC / Streamer setup, you wouldn’t wanna listen to anything else. You just to need to make sure your network is up to the task :-) 

Back to OP’s query, given his components; I suggest SPDIF cable from DHLABS and Supra Ethernet cable from eBay.
