"power supply made really noticeable improvements"

"They said, in everything they tested adding a better power supply made really noticeable improvements."

I'd be curious to know if you tried a better power supply with your previous switch before installing the Netgear GS305 + iFi PS ?

I -suspect- some improvement might be attributed to the improved PS injecting less noise back into your AC mains. In the case of Ethernet bit ARE bits.

I've been running Netgear switches for some time. I have a couple 5-port models around the house and a 16-port version in the basement utility room where it fans out hardwired Ethernet into other rooms throughout the house.

If you want to get really fancy you can try a managed Netgear switch and run your music streaming bits on its on VLAN with customized QoS.
