Well I'm a sometimes systems and network engineer and have a CCNE, and I'll back you up on this Antoine! I've heard Audioquest Vodka & Diamond in Guillaume's superb system and they both give improvements, the Diamond in particular but the Vodka noticeable too.
It's funny I don't feel I have the resolution in my own system to confidently tell the difference, but on one that's on a different level to mine it's much more apparent and it's a worthy addition.
I've been meaning to try optical for ages too. I bought a managed switch with 4 SFP ports in a couple of years ago but yet to try it out. Of course it requires a converter on the end the Devialet is on so could be a source of noise. I also tried wireless on the MiND - it's different (should it be?!), and I liked it for a while, then thought it was less musical and went back to ethernet.
