This is an interesting thread! I recently installed a mid-range audiophile ethernet switch into my setup, and was pleasantly surprised. The lower frequencies have a bit more punch and my noise floor is dead silent. I acquired the switch primarily for when I stream hi-res Tidal. And, I also happened to need an ethernet switch for the computers in the house. Cheers.
