Why not more wireless connections?

Regarding all in 1 streamers, I forgot to note the Cambridge Audio Evo supports Bluetooth output connectivity to speakers as well, so possible to be totally wireless streaming with that kind of “future-fi” device. Toss in the latest cd res Bluetooth protocols and you are golden there in terms of matching what is possible with CDs historically.  High res beyond cd is nice but has significant diminishing returns.  I’d be hard pressed to distinguish most CD res recordings from alternate high res options.  The science that went into defining CD res as suitable for a hifi digital standard (Nyquist  Theorum) many years ago turned out to be quite solid.

Aurender has introduced the new N50 which is a three box solution and cost $38K. These devices may be operated off a wifi extender and give sound quality comparable to an analog system of similar cost ... The lure that has made these "wireless" devices possible ...

Just to be clear, I'm pretty sure none of the Aurender streamers are truly "wireless." Rather, they're designed for wired ethernet. To get them to work wirelessly, a wifi dongle is required, or you need to run ethernet cable from the wifi router or extender. For some of us, that's rather like a kludge. I think there's a reason Aurender doesn't include wifi capability, even on an apparently "cost no object" 38K component.

Correct. But they operate perfectly off of wifi extenders.

They are effective because the utterly isolate themselves from the input, cashing all the bits.

Surely they cash a lot of your money, but cache the bits!

Because it dies not sound good
