Q: I have a Linn DSM Klimax Organik. It is currently connected directly to a satellite router by ethernet cable. Are there other, better ways (improved signal), to make that connection? Thanks in advance & Happy Halloween...Boo!

-Michael

A: Happy Halloween to you!

The answer to your question is decidedly “maybe”. If your Ethernet run is short and your router is high quality and your environment is low noise and you have good cables throughout your system…you are probably fine. OTOH, the standard answer is: use optical cable and supporting equipment.
