Routers and Ethernet switch

[Sheldon Simon]

How much of a difference will an Audiophile grade router make and a hi end Ethernet switch?

im currently using my isp Verizon router bridged to Apple airport extreme router. Via Ethernet to Aurender streamer

Frankly it sounds fine. Just wondering if a newer router and or switch would make a significant difference

[Sheldon Simon]

i was skeptical too-still am but there is a OCXO ROUTER supposedly with hi end power supply and the like

Google it and see what is lists as features supposedly making it an Audiophile Grade Router"

I believe mostly what people refer to though is a hi end Ethernet switch--The Cable co in Newhope PA

has one advertised--I think either The Chord Co or someone else makes it

A close audiophile friend with a 

15,000 dac auditioned a 5,000

ethernet switch. ZERO difference 

what do you suppose you will hear with,say. 2,000 dac? Hmmmm?

By power supply I presume I refer to

line conditioner?

[Sheldon Simon]

I know too many people who think 

the difference these switches make is minimal. 

[Sheldon Simon]

Do different routers make a marked 

difference in streaming? 
I have an Apple AirPort Extreme 

streaming from Aurender unit. 
sounds very good to me

Not what my understanding tells me 

it’s what my ears tell me.
