WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection

@thyname 

Forget Cin Dyment for a moment….

 

And forget bandwidth for a moment as well…

 

And certainly disregard whatever Freddy says….

 

What is wi-fi? An “antenna “ so to speak, converting the internet signal for your streamer. Very simplistic, I know. You really think there is no audible noise from the conversion process bringing internet streaming to your streamer? Think. Antennae. In other words, look it up. Google it. No electrical noise ?

 

Obviously as @audphile1 says:

 

Before spending money on all these tweaks, invest in better quality components. No switch or ethernet tweak will bridge the gap between a low/midfi component and a high end one. No matter how many of these tweaks you throw at it. You just can’t polish the turd.

So yeah, there is that. Don’t expect magic.
 

why don’t you explain how electrical noise enters anything through the wifi antenna? Come on, you said it was easy to Google.

@goofyfoot 

what makes a streamer a good streamer? For me it is following the specs of the services you intend to support, and the Bryson doesn’t. It has a smaller buffer than what Qobuz and Tidal mandates as one example that I am aware of, I am sure there are others. 

 I have wi-fi connection in my home, as we all do. I plan on wiring my home and not using wi-fi at all. It gives me a headache, I know it shouldn't, being that it has such a low power output.

 Does anyone else have this problem?

I’ve only ever streamed via Ethernet. After reading this thread, I became curious about how it would sound via Wi-Fi so I disconnected Ethernet. Well crap! Now my tiny mind thinks listening via Wi-Fi is slightly more holographic. Live and learn. Conventional wisdom may not hold true in all instances.
