Most purifiers use isolation transformers to break the electrical connection between audio streamer and switch. Data passes through, but electrical noise does not. Some devices disconnect Ethernet shield grounds to prevent ground loops. If your DAC/Streamer already has well built Ethernet interface and you use unshielded Ethernet cables, the effect may be subtle or zero.
