CD quality stream is 1.4Mbps. 4G is 100Mbps. 5G is 10Gbps. The question is how you plan to feed it into DAC?
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.
