(a) even use it and if I can,
(b) would there be any benefits of using something like a etherregen?

Basically think of it as an ethernet switch which is also intended to provide a better ethernet signal so it has multiple ethernet ins and a single ethernet out if you use it in the normal configuration. In your system you could use it between your router and your Devialet. It would not be performing any switch functions used there but you would get the benefits it provides regarding signal improvement.
In other words, if the positive reports of sound quality improvement you've read here are correct. then you would expect to hear similar improvements in your system with it connected between your router and your Devialet.
On the other hand, if those who say the etheregen does nothing are correct, then there would be no benefits to using it at all. Mine should arrive next month so I'll get to learn if there are any benefits then.
