Improving streaming SQ

I have an Aurender A10 and stream Tidal and Qobuz.  I'm looking for an easy and cost effective way to to improve streaming sound quality as it seems to fall a little short of my ripped CD's.  Artistic Fidelity makes an ethernet galvanic isolator (GISO GB) that plugs in between the CAT 6 cable and the Aurender.  I'm wondering if any one has tried this or a similar product and what your experience was.  I don't think this product is available in the USA, but I can get one shipped from Germany for 299 euros.  As always, any and all comments are appreciated!

If you can manage, try the SoTM cable. I am using this cable with my N10...amazing sounding cable with a on board filter, very effective in lowering the noise floor.

Speaking of switches, if anyone interested in exploring the ‘next’ level of improvement in streaming, should check out Telegärtner’s M12 switches. Both ‘Magic’ and ‘Gold’ are now considered the new benchmark in ethernet switches.

I’ve just added M12 Gold Switch and the improvements were far from subtle, in fact a game changer in my system. The M12 replaced both EE8 and ENO Filter w/Ag LAN Cable in my system.
