In the light of Section 2 of the link below, I sited a Netgear GS105 hub close to my audio PC and connected the two with a home-made, 30 cm lead and stock RJ45 connectors (not a longer but fancy lead as SC suggests). It made a small but noticeable difference.
I chose the Netgear because it's small, inexpensive and metal-boxed but you can easily, as I did, test the idea with any old hub you have kicking around. As I understand it, the SB doesn't need gigabit speeds though my system, where data are transferred in bursts, starts playing noticeably faster with the faster LAN.
I haven't tried fancy cables.
