This is nothing like the absurdities of the audiophile community. Routing traffic just isn't as trivial as you think it is, and going with cheap NICs that are missing important features and have lower-quality drivers will produce measurable and significant differences in objective benchmarks. If you have something like a 100Mbps cable connection, you can't use just any off-the-shelf hardware and expect to solve any problems in software.

Thats what an audiophile would say

It's also what the IETF says. Don't belittle those who are trying to fix the problems you're frustrated with but can't be bothered to understand.

I'm going to re-quote the parent for you.
