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?

I just sold my Eno V1 streaming system, I prefer just a better RJ 45 to Aurender N200. I discovered this by removing the Eno filter and just used the Eno RJ45. I liked it. So I have a Revelation Audio Lab RJ 45 on the way. I have his DC cable and I2s cable already. 

@foggyus91   I have and I am aware. Brad makes some very fine cables regardless. This last one is a used one I snagged off USAM. But I bought the other 2 directly from Brad. 

FWIW, I have placed this between my switch and streamer, It did lower the noise floor. I cannot detect any detraction of sound quality, harshness etc. with it installed. Just a lower noise floor IMHO. No SMPS. I use a good power cord on it too. (WW Silver Electra 7)  This replaced an Network Acoustics Eno filter system, which I felt it compressed dynamics a bit.
