I am not quite sure who the "you" was aimed at above, but if it was me, I like surprises. (some surprises, not all)
Anyway, the recent posts were relating to an Aurender N10, which can be used to play files from it's own internal storage, outputting direct to a Devialet by USB or AES/EBU. I think it is clear that a network switch cannot possibly influence the sound quality in this scenario.
If your comment is general, then yes, it might be possible, for example when using a remote computer (or NAS) to play local files via Ethernet to a attached endpoint or similar.
Is that what you were referring to?
