Yes, it will be great to see if the Active aqvox switch will make a sonic improvement.
It is also good to point out that unlike USB and coax connections, Ethernet is all transformer coupled and galvanically isolated.
Ethernet can still induce noise into your system. An isolator won't really help because in order to pass the Ethernet signal some noise will pass along with it.
An active switch has the potential to strip off any extraneous noise coming in on the Ethernet cables.
