Basic switch....should I upgrade?

[Kerkm45]

I'm using a D-Link switch into a EtherRegen (with an AfterDark PSU & Clock) via a Signature Ethernet Cable. Coming out of the EtherRegen I use a basic fiber optic cable into my streamer. (All connects/cables not mentioned are upgraded.)
Simply put, should I upgrade the switch or does the fantastic EtherRegen clean up the switch's audio shortcomings?

I use a Netgear router via WiFi to a Netgear wall wart extender with Ethernet cable to a EtherRegen and cable to my streamer. My streamer / digital end sounds as good as my really good vinyl rig.
Everything matters, but at the level of performance I currently am experiencing, I am very happy. Maybe I’ll play with it someday. I am enjoying the music right now.

Did you try turning it off and then back on?

Switch is outdated; get a PS5

tbh, are people still falling for scams like EtherREGEN? :lol

On a side note, I updated my home network with a 10GB switch and Ethernet cards. If you move a lot of data over locally, it's pretty sweet, tbh
