It kind of looks like there is a second case build around an other one. I wonder what's underneath it...
It's probably very common to improve an common switch and sell that as an audiophile version.

The Silent Angel Bonn N8 (400 euro) which has a small tcxo board with two crappy capacitors which should improve jitter performance. If you want to upgrade those crappy capacitors with better ones then kemp electronics can help, they also change 4 other capacitors and stick a piece of bitumen on the tcxo for the measly sum of 150 euro. You want some more resonant resistant feet under the device, 50 euro. Then there is the 670 euro English Electric 8Switch which is internaly the same as the Bonn 8. But with a better shielded housing. It seems to be a modded ZyXEL GS-108B V3 costing about 30 or 40 euro.

Needless to say they advise you to invest a few 100 more for a better suitable power supply....

And there is de Aqvox 800 euro audiophile switch its a kind of annoying video and they don't have a lot of knowledge but they take it apart to show what is done to the stock switch
