Get a good streamer and run an Ethernet cable from one of the Mesh nodes to it and you’ll be in a much better place. Ditch Apple. If you share your budget and if you’re looking for new or used you’ll get good recommendations here.
Streamer vs Airport 2nd gen
Hi, I am currently using Tidal with my phone to an Airport Express 2nd gen sending optical signal to my DAK. the other day I tried bypassing the Airplay with a LAN from my router to the Airport. May have have improved the sound, but within a few minutes the router would switch from wired to WiFi and then all WiFi would cease to my other computers, TV , light bulbs, and thermostats. My question is would a music server do the same thing? I have a TP Link Deco 6e main router, with 2 Deco 6e as mesh WiFi. I have a basic system with older Sonus Fabers on Stands and a Jolida tube hybrid.
Thanks
