Yes. Big, big improvement over generic Ethernet switches. The reasons for this are fairly complex; you can read why in my review of it in The Absolute Sound.
It comes with a good power supply but does benefit from using better ones e.g. UpTone LPS 1.2, Keces P3, etc.
My recommendation is to use it with a Shunyata Ethernet cable from to a network bridge, streamer, or comparable device.
