Does ethernet switch quality matter when using fiber connection?

From my understanding noise should be eliminated once it reaches the fiber cable since glass will carry the pure signal

With this in mind, should one disregard a more expensive switch such as ETHERRegen when streaming with fiber in favor of a > $100 switch.

Is it still worth investing in an audiophile grade switch and if so why?

I didn't touch anything else, I re-ran all three hard lines in the house and shop. Cat 4 to Cat 6. 20, 50 and 100 foot runs. It was like magic.. 15, 20, and 35.00 dollar cables. I had zero errors before and zero errors after but 10X increase in DL and 2 or 3 X in up load, bidirectional. 100.00 upgrade, 5X increase in overall speed.. YES the sound improved..the shop more so, (the longest run and Cat 4 only before). I like the CAT 6 connections too.. Regards
