We both have the Bonn N8 -- which was a top 3 switch in blind testing -- and it's made a difference in our systems. Alpha-Audio recognizes that pure measurements are not always the answer. In their Q and A, they sum up (courtesy of Google Translate):
"Does a special audio switch make an audible difference? Yes. It does. A really good switch brings more peace and definition to the display. Less 'hardness', especially in the middle and high. Sometimes a little more space in the stereo image."
That's been my experience!
Same here. Glad I took the jump. Together with the IsoAcoustics Gaia II beneath my loudspeakers one of the best tweaks I have introduced in my set the last few years.
same here, but then with the EtherRegen and IsoAcoustics Gaia III
