Jason @ the cable co. suggested Shunyata Venom 14 Digital,since I’ll be bypassing the node dac. Another agoner was gracious enuf to suggest an iso solution(I pm’d him); but I’ll let him chime in if he wishes. And yeah, I suppose I’ll use Ethernet as you suggest. Thx for your input, Mike

I then added a Supra Cat 8(Ebay) from modem>router and got another nice jump in sq; not as great as the Reunion, but def noticeable on my test tracks, which I'm extremely familiar with. Next up- upgraded power cord.
