Have a look at this thing Gordon Rankin came up with. It's basically an Ethernet re-clocker but probably one of the most complete packages. No need for upgraded power supplies. It's all built in.

“The input side of the circuit goes to a really high-quality reclocker, this is then converted to a digital parallel interface that is optically coupled in both directions to the clean side reclocker. A low jitter (0.1ps) oscillator is used on the clean side (output) and then feed to the input side of the circuit through an optical isolator. So the input and the output is not only isolated by the magnetics of the Ethernet connector but also completely isolated by optics. A dual linear power supply and a total of five low noise regulators are used to filter out any noise from the mains and separately power each side of the ES. A mains line filter accepts the 115/230 switchable power at the IEC.”
