Network Switches

Another digital question from an analogue guy.

I am currently running an Electrocompanient EDM MKII ( Streamer DAC) and a Small Green Computer Sonic transporter.  Both run off of a Trendnet                         ( unmanaged)  basic switch.

Would an upgraded switch have any sonic impact?

If so what switches in the 500 dollar range would be recommended?

Everything else being equal, I will prefer the product that is more pleasing to look at.

That's just human nature.

If spending $3,799 on a switch that looks like a spray-painted smoke detector (plus $2749 for its companion power supply) is considered sane ...

Are you saying that you evaluate audio gear based on appearance? Would you like it better if the switch was in a bigger box with blue meters?

I’m not a fan of Nordost and haven’t tried the product, but appearance isn’t the obstacle.
