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!

Thanks for weighing in on importance of ‘everything matters’ in a high resolution streaming setup. BTW, you have a gorgeous system! Wonderfully balanced and I couldn’t help drooling over your Garrard 301 with Reed 3P tonearm. One of the top 3 tonearms under consideration for my upcoming TT setup. 

Enjoy!

Sorry to hear your system is down. I look forward to hearing about it and your new system. Swapping can be exhausting.

@duckworp The Cisco 2960 Runs off 120 V AC. Wouldn’t it be better to get a unit that can be powered with a linear power supply, DC?

One of the things Hans at Audiophool did on the Cisco 2960 was remove the internal power supplies and added a 5.5/2.1 dc connector for a linear power supply.
