Basic switch....should I upgrade?

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?

Please don't tell me to get a TT!

I guess the InnuOS Phoenix Ehrerregen is the most credible attempt by a manufacturer  so far. Disappointing, though that there seems to be no common clock between the two Phoenixes (Etherregen, USB), the server and the DAC in that model.

Look out for upcoming Network Acoustics Rubicon switch.  A box like ENO inside a streamer / server would serve as a solid foundation to noise containment. Tweak geeks like us will always find a way to improve upon existing standards 😉

I wonder how much time the Engineers building modern recording studio's spend on the audio attributes of the Ethernet  network connecting their recording equipment? My guess would be about 3 ms.
