Why not more wireless connections?

I dont stream and never will...I dont need to anyway with my 10,000 files...

But wait, don't people wirelessly stream Hi-Def files? Just saying.

Yes, some do.

What do you mean? What about AirPlay or other streaming over WiFi? I own both wired and wireless cans.

Audiophile quality streamers that are capable of true audiophile quality sound exist. I own an Aurender W20SE ($22K) and Aurender has introduced the new N50 which is a three box solution and cost $38K. These devices may be operated off a wifi extender and give sound quality comparable to an analog system of similar cost. They catch all the bits, cache them and then restream them so they will sound the same as a CD or a physical media source. So, this part of it can be done. Less expensive streamers like and Aurender N200 can compete with physical media at these lower costs. 

The lure that has made these "wireless" devices possible has been adding a library of music for virtually no cost. There is no huge payoff for doing this between other components. 

Wireless definitely has the advantage of convenience.  For me personally it's really more about reliability. I have suffered in one way or another through many versions of wifi, sometimes in very congested areas sometimes not.  

Devices overheat for no apparent reason and wifi drops, your neighbors new Comcastg router just added 8 new wifi signals on your band and is crowding you out.... that's my biggest beef with it. 

The other one is EMI/RFI interference and noise potential. Not sure if that's real or not but I worry.

From a pure numbers game, assuming you have a good connection and no competition Wifi has so much more bandwidth than audio will ever need, and I've heard good things about Wifi 7's ability to be stable even in a crowded environment, so, sure! Try it.
