That is a foolish comparison
you need respectable components throughout , my brother owns the $3k Innous
Ethernet switch by far a Big improvement built from the ground up,
for most people this SW8 Ethernet switch makes areal world difference
and use at least a $200+ power cord.this Ethernet switch has a Talema linear power supply,low noise regulators, ands OCXO oven controlled clock ⏰
it’s a excellent value for $599 and yes it makes a difference in smoothing out the rough edges and blacker background myself and 4 others I know own one .
it takes 250 hours to fully runin .
