Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable

I was wondering the same but read many times that WiFi sounds as good as Ethernet, provided your WiFi is strong enough a signal. Mine is. My Node 2i never blinks.

Yes.

A cable will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be more reliable, faster and better.

Most of the time you may not notice the difference, but when there is air noise, wifi signals will be lost, corrupted and retransmitted MUCH more.

In addition to a mesh satellite connecting directly to the streamer, I added a Acoustic Revive Lan filter on the streamer side. This has improved the SQ significantly. Qobuz streaming sounded as good as some good CDs.

Sorry for not being clear. Every time either I thought something (like a digital cable) or that the sound could not be improved I have been very wrong. So, I am very reluctant to say a cable will not matter... it always has.

Hmmm, after reading the comments, I bet the results are very highly dependent on the streamer. Some folks comment on drop outs. While I have trouble with wifi on my iPad at the same location, my streamer never has drop outs... but I have one of the best on the market. I remember long ago using my Mac laptop where dropouts were a problem. So, I am thinking the answer is like every other aspect of this pursuit... “It depends” and how much difference is highly variable. But I would imagine the higher quality the streamer the less it matters. As I mentioned earlier, I can’t tell the difference between a red book CD stored on my steamer and and incoming red book version from Qubuz.
