Ethernet vs. Wi-Fi streaming


My question is simple…

If you have a very strong WiFi signal to your streamer and there are no signs of buffering are you giving up any sound quality?

I have a BluSound streamer to my Gustard DAC and stream Qobuz/Tidal 90% of time with no issues.  Would a hard lined Ethernet do anything to improve sound quality?  Hope my question is of value and makes sense.

I tried WiFi streaming when I had the Matrix Audio i3 Mini Pro. That thing had so many connectivity options. I was surprised at how good the WiFi sounded. That is until it would fail and then it was a catastrophic failure and I had to do a DAC reboot or something along those lines.

I stuck with Ethernet streaming on that device and that never failed.
