Ethernet vs 5G Streamer Tech Considerations for Sound Quality
Most audiophile publications say to hard wire ethernet for streamers but it seems to me if you have excellent reliable 5G (> 100 mbps) you avoid all the potential noise added by running ethernet cable and avoid buying special cables, switches, optical rendu etc. I have read many threads here but not much addressing this. Lots of experience here with digital streaming so wanted open for discussion.
I am running a Cary DMS-700 via 5G and am extremely pleased with the sound quality. I can’t find wifi max rate on Cary unit but it is MU-MIMO 5Ghz capable and connected to my fios 5G band.
