Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

There won’t be any music to play if there was no cable between the switch and renderer to begin with....so by pulling Ethernet cable proves nothing

So you can't answer simple questions like what happens to the SQ when the Ethernet cable is pulled and the song still plays? 

I get it that you have no clue how this stuff works but it at least should be a 'woke' moment for you...

 You must be using wireless.
 
 Sorry; couldn't resist.

My 2.0 setup is 📻. My HTPC setup is hardwired.

Oh I know exactly how the streaming works, but you can’t seem to grasp a simple fact that once 10, 20 or 30 seconds of downloaded 1’s and 0’s runs out of buffer, you need that Ethernet cable to download the next 10-30 seconds of bits and so on.

Unlike you I enjoy listening to my music uninterrupted, not in 10-20 seconds of voodoo crap you have been trying to peddle.

Well that depends on the size of the buffer. Tidal has the ability to buffer the entire track. Williams 11 minute piano piece played entirely after the cable was pulled after the first 10-15 seconds.

Buffers are designed to never entirely allow to run out. There are hold down algorithms that make sure the buffer never even comes close to running out.

Then we have wire speed to contend with. I get ~36MB/s over my cable broadband. I can cue up entire 24/96, 10 minute tracks, in 6 seconds.

Sorry that your playback system is so completely compromised.
