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

“Peace & Control”. 

Please, Rix, if any of us were to actually listen and confirm these findings, WTF would we be listening for? 

Don’t you see the problem with the use of these nebulous superlatives?
Yeah I'll agree that the "Peace & Control" verbage sounded quite a lot like bovine excrement.

However I did find the article that stated a good linear power supply into the switch yielded a better result.

I've not heard the switch you linked but I did buy an Etherregen switch and heard an obvious improvement in my system. I then changed the power supply to the Etherregen to a Paul Hynes PR3 regulated linear power supply and heard another obvious jump in sound quality in my system  I then put my old cisco 2960 switch in front of my Etherregen and another jump in sound quality..... 

I wish these things didn't make a difference but experience tells me they do.

I have had a similar experience to discopants in regards to a linear power supply, however in my USB.
roberttdid mentioned about power to the USB, and I removed power for my computer based USB card to an external quality linear power supply with very good results.

The last review I posted that said the linear power supply yielded better results, didn’t actually continue by giving any indication they used the linear power supply in the modified switch though. Which of course is more money.
