I’m late to the discussion here. However, I thought it was important enough to bring up something obvious regarding the Orbi system.
I am using the Orbi system with a Cat 8 ethernet cable connection to my Gold Note DS-10/ PSU-10 Evo combo.
I was quite satisfied with what I was getting and then it struck me that what I was hearing was only as good as what was being transmitted from the Orbi router to the Orbi satellite.
I was still using the cheap Cat 5 cable that was included between the cable modem and Orbi router!
I swapped to Cat 8 cable between the modem and Orbi router.
The result was a jaw dropping change in sound quality in every respect.
