Can streamed Music sound better on a Sunday?


I’m new to the audio world. I had an accident about 2 1/2 years ago that left me a highly functioning quadriplegic. I used to mountain bike five days a week, that’s how I had the accident. I loved it I wouldn’t change anything. So I was looking into other things that interested me. Back in the 1980s I was into audio and then I took a 30 year hiatus and here I am. It’s a whole New World. So my question is can audio that I stream on a Sunday sound better than the same music during the week? Is it possible that you get less bandwidth when things are busy during the week versus when there’s less traffic on a Sunday? Call me crazy but It’s Sunday afternoon and my system sounds wonderful.

Mine always sounds the same, maybe you need to look at your system.
Bits are just Bits nothing more.
Bandwidth will play no part in this, a high definition film only needs 3 Meg a second to stream and the requirements for music is much lower.
So this is not a consideration unless you are stuck in the past and still using a modem on dialup.

Not sure where you people get these ideas from but they are not based on facts..

Streaming music doesn’t require much bandwidth—almost all current internet speeds are more than fast enough to keep your tunes rolling. In most cases, 500 Kbps (0.5 Mbps) is enough speed; you’ll need more speed for multiple streams.

Depending on your type of broadband you have what is called contention rates where the available bandwidth is shared, but in practice this would not affect the streaming quality and the management of the packet delivery and local cashe Would manage this.
