That is a protocol specifically designed to accept input from audio devices like microphones, etc and output directly to audio devices like speakers.

To do the same with ethernet you would have to use an industrial ethernet implementation of which I know at least three and they are all incompatible with each other and even then you would most likely benefit from an audio focused implementation.

All of this is much harder than just buying a better switch and claiming it improves the sound. Your audio playback device and speaker would have to support the same implementation of industrial internet.



No, it’s more — AES67 is a network audio routing protocol using Ethernet frames. Some variations such as Dante can use normal RJ-45 Ethernet gear.
