If you have enough budget, SOTM SNH-10G will be a very good choice. You can read some reviews/comparisons from serveral web sites. One of them is found at --> https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/s...58/page-12 (SOTM SNH-10G and Uptone Audio EtherREGEN are compared).
Creating an optical network would even be better. Some of the audiophile switches has extra SFP port which gives you flexibility to use a Transceiver Module you want(compatibility is an important factor here; some switches support limited choices).
I use Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 10x and SOTM SNH-10G(It is powered by Sbooster MK2 LPS) together. Devialet, MacMini are connected to SOTM SNH-10G with Supra CAT8 ethernet cables. Internet router and NAS are connected to Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 10x. The switches are connected to each other using a fiberoptic cable(I use StarTech.com 1000BASE-ZX SFP Transceiver and OS2 LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable Singlemode Duplex, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5VZYD8/). I achieved great results with such a network configuration. There is no dropout or error even if you prefer ROON RAAT with wired gigabit ethernet connections. I highly recommend SOTM SNH-10G .
