Could you elaborate on how you came to these conclusions? DBT? No measurements it seems?
Please don’t take this question as criticism, just trying to wade through all theories and statements about networks and music streaming from different sources.
What ethernet cables are members using?

Not all SFP+ are dual mode. Also, if you use a 10G SFP+ in a 10G switch, it will output 10G, which cannot be decoded by a downstream SFP/FMC.
Some managed 10G switches allow you to set output to 1G when using a dual rate SFP+, some won't.
Crazy that someone looking to improve their listening enjoyment would actually let their ears decide.
(Yes, that was sarcasm)
Ha! Funny how that works. Also works for distinguishing a Stradivarius from a Guarneri, too.

Oh how nice it would be to see this thread go back to talking about Ethernet cables that customers consider to be the best in their systems.
I have 4 Ethernet cables in my system and the best one i have is the Vertere Pulse-HB, the other 3 are Pink Faun Interlink which are also very good but warmer.
Always again astonishing to see how much of a difference there is between Ethernet cables. Having tried a number of known cables over the years I ended up using the Audioquest Diamond which was performing nicely. That changed when I tried the Network Acoustics Muon Pro that made another reasonable improvement.
That's because Ethernet and USB cables are susceptible to a number of noise factors that discernibly impact audio quality, including low- and high-source leakage impedance current (which results in threshold jitter, which is different from deterministic jitter) and common-mode noise. Also, the longitudinal* EM wave that propagates along the cable is also a noise factor.
* – The transverse EM wave that also propagates on the digital cable is the EM wave that actually carries the signal. The signal Is NOT a stream of 0's and 1's, it is an analog "square wave" voltage.

I have. They are my choice between Extreme Fiberbox II and Extreme Silent Switch and between switch and Aurender N30SA.
