Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

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

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

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.

First it was our cable, then our ability to hear and now it is our playback system....whatever!

I never said my system won’t buffer beyond 30 seconds. 

I thought "everything matters"?
