Network Switches

Hey @mitch2  good luck getting an affirmative answer from this guy. They never try anything. They just know. And if you do get an answer, it will be something like “I don’t have to go go North Pole to know it’s cold out there”. Or something like that. A stupid sophism 

Another addition: Silent Angel reviewed by High Fidelity.

I just came across this thread, interesting, but sort of old, perhaps it can revived. I've been thinking about adding network switch for some time now, already have post server taken care of with FMCs and usb decrapifiers. Up to now, I've fed server and NAS with router powered by lps. Finally decide to pull the plug on purchasing audiophile network switch yesterday. During my research over the past few weeks I narrowed down choices to English8, N&E Silent Switch (aka as Ediscreation) standard and deluxe versions, Uptone Etheregen and RenoLabs Ultimate. I took a chance and purchased RenoLabs Ultimate, the risk because I've not found a single review.  Should get 7-10 days.
Also, I found a review by thyname of the N&E switch over at whatsbest forum, assume this is the very same thyname in this thread. David_Ten, may be worthwhile to pm him for review either on this thread or start a new one. He found it superior to Uptone etheregen.

Hi @sns  --- yes, that was me on that Whatsbest Forum thread. I did not start that thread, but it was enough to draw my interest on Ediscreation switch. I am still happy with my units (I have two), and my search on that space is now over (for now).

Many (higher priced) manufacturers are now joining the ethernet switch category, including Innuos, and most recently, Synergistic Research. It shows the popularity among audio enthusiasts on such products. They do work IMO
