What can I do between the wall and my streamer/DAC?

I have AT&T fiberoptic internet and the AT&T supplied router. I then have generic ethernet cable to the music room in the basement to the back of my Lumin T2. Is the anything I can do to make this a better sounding situation? I feel it sound very good as is, just wondering if I am leaving some goodness on the table with this set-up, Thanks, Allen.

What kind of length do you need?

Unfortunately it's about 45'

Yeah... for that kind of length, I wouldn't consider buying any kind of after market ethernet cables.

 

Have you considered isolating your router from your audio system by using fiber media converters?

Another option is putting a network switch after the 45' run of ethernet cable, run by a linear power supply.

Some form of LAN Isolator to the Lumin with a good ethernet cable from the switch. An Eno would suit, or the likes of a Pink Faun.
