To upgrade, or not to upgrade, that is the question


After reading the comments on ethernet cables, I am curious to what y'all would say about this setup, and should I try to improve it.  My streamer is a 70 foot run to the modem/router and I am using basic best buy ethernet cable through a floor and 2 walls.  SQ is pretty good from Qobuz.  What if anything could be an improvement?

Can you connect a computer in place of your streamer and run some tests?  Link speed, ping . . . 

Ethernet cables improving audio is a debated topic.  IMO, you are already wired, which is much better then wireless and 70 feet is not very far for Ethernet at the audio streaming speeds.  Other will disagree.  If the testing shows a good link speed, I would look at other aspects of your system to upgrade but without knowing more can't comment.
