I have ordered an Acoustic-revive LAN Isolator (RLI-1) from Japan. Will take a while to arrive but will report back when I have done a comparison.

I would use two of these with my Renew DS and DSM if they work well.

The Acoustic-Revive LAN Isolator (RLI-1) has arrived - I ordered it on 1 April and came today 7 April AND this included 4 days of public holidays for Easter - so very prompt delivery (reached UK on 4 April)

I have been comparing it with:

1) QNAP - MinimServer - NetGear GS108 switch - KDSM/1
2) QNAP - MinimServer - NetGear GS108 switch - Acoustic-Revive RLI-1 - KDSM/1
3) QNAP - MinimServer - NetGear GS108 switch - Melco N1A* - KDSM/1
4) Melco Twonky - KDSM/1
* Melco is just being used as a LAN switch

OK. Try this option :
5) Melco Twonky (LAN socket) - NetGear GS108 switch with/without Acoustic-Revive RLI-1 - KDSM/1
and compare it with 4) Melco Twonky - KDSM/1 and you will know how good a built-in Melco N1 switch. So you eliminate the influence of different media servers (Minimserver and Twonky).
Moreover, in 4) SMPS of NetGear GS108 switch must be turned off.
