ethernet connection for Netflix amazon etc.


Any advice in regards to streaming video connection.  Is it better to connect direct vie ethernet to TV or to A/V processor.  Example I have Mcintosh MX 122 A/V processor and LG C9 OLED.  If possible any advantage to connect to A/V processor then back to TV via HDMI as opposed to direct connect from router to tv.

Thanks

 @ozzy thanks.  Just cut cable and I am thinking about getting a Fire TV Cube and using it with an aftermarket linear power supply to keep stock switching supply out of my main HT/HiFi system where I have concerns about both sound quality and noise.  I just removed an Xfinity smart cable box from my main system and it made a big, big difference in the overall sound quality of all other sources.  Even with power conditioning, that thing must have been really dirty, not to mention it ran hot and had a fan in it that was running all the time.  I am using a Fire TV Stick with a TV in different room, and functionally it works great, but sound quality is not as critical there.  If I go with the TV Cube and linear supply, I will report back on experience.
