Ethernet switch worthwhile?

Is anyone using an audiophile ethernet switch for streaming as is it worth it? Recently was recommended using Uptone Audio EtherRegen switch to remove noise and jitter from the ethernet cable before it enters my Aurender N10 streamer. Or does the N10 also remove the same once it enters its own ethernet connection?  Also read Synergistic Research ethernet switch is very good. Thoughts?

My fiber optic modem's switch is all I require.

Ethernet switch worthwhile?

most with high resolution systems would say yes, although it is more of an ’optimization’ step rather than a fundamental upgrade

meaning get your speakers, room, amplification and source components well chosen and dialed in first before doing switches, cables and so on

Please do! I’ve been looking at that thing forever :)

Very interested in your thoughts on it

Is a switch of any benefit if there is only the one ethernet cable going to the streamer and no other connections? I would think not but don’t know if I am missing something.

I will add that when I had two network connections, I tried a Bonn N8 Silent Angel switch with its dedicated LPS and could not detect a difference.
