Yes, that’s a network switch marketed to Audiophiles.

If you’re referring to the USB “cleaners” like the iFi iPurifier, those have been analyzed by ASR and found to not only NOT do any cleaning, but actually added noise. 
So, just saying “works great”, without providing any evidence isn’t going to work for me. 
The notion of these things is they clean EMI and RF noise that can leak in and carry on the wires. They don't really do anything to the digital signal. The wires after the switch to the streamer might pick up more noise which this thing isn't going to help. From there to the DAC which might be USB or coax or optical again nothing the switch can do about that.then I guess if you have a really really bad DAC some might hear a difference. Save your money and buy a decent DAC instead of this switch. 
The whole thread was started to tee up a statement like this:

Where it all falls apart for me, is how obviously bright people can somehow shut off or disable their critical thinking skills and allow themselves to be taken on a magic carpet ride when I know they know better.

Again - it was bait.

And by the way, I'd never buy an audiophile switch or audiophile ethernet cable but I think it's pathetic that you need to come on here with an agenda to dress people down and try to make them feel stupid.  I hope you feel like a bigger man now.
