Where should I go from here with my digital front end?

Good morning

My digital front end consists of a recently purchased  Lumin U2 Mini hard wired with Supra ethernet cable from an Eero mesh unit. Modem and Eero router located on 2nd floor. My listening room is in the basement.

My listening is 100% streaming from Tidal and Quboz with a budget of under $1k

should I:

1) upgrade the supra cable

2) add an Etherregen or Eno filter

3) add an audiophile switch such as the English Electric

4) other

Thanks!

Upgrade everything if possible , a good usb or Ethernet cable are at least $750 each , ether regen helps  most critical Ethernet cable is where the hub is 

buy the best dac you can afford ,by far the most important component 

for all detail and resolution, sound signature start here . For your budget I would Highly recommend the Denafrips Pontus2 , ifyou could come up with $4500 the 

the New Denafrips Terminator2 12 th anniversary  but for $2k the pontus 2 beats 

many dacs at 2x the cost.
