Thanks everyone. I thought WiFi would potentially sound better but apparently I was wrong. I'll look into the filter, fiber optics, etc..
WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection
Hey All,
I have a fairly new Bryston BDP 3 streamer/renderer. I haven't been all that happy with the sound of streaming on Qobuz. However may local files on my SSD sound astonishing. The router I'm using is standard for 500 GB but it's nothing special. I'm currently connected to my BDP 3 with a utilitarian 7 cat ethernet cable. Instead of buying a better modem/router and audiophile ethernet cable, I'm considering Bryston's WiFi dongle. Anybody familiar with wireless HiFi streaming? Thanks!

It’s seems rather clueless to me that certain folks wouldn’t consider the Bryston BDP 3 to be a quality streamer. Every review I’ve seen states that it is an audiophile quality streamer and is held in the highest regard. Anyway, there have been times where Qobuz streaming was excellent but my experiences have been inconsistent. Anyway, my local files sound more refined with less noise than most streaming titles. If I were to spend up to $600.00, I would consider the Ether Regen from Uptone Audio but for now, I am considering a better router. I have a Terdak LPS and the fuse reads 12 Volts 2 Amps so I will need to buy a router that is compatible with the Teradak and then an audiophile ethernet cable. |
@fredrik222 ' For me it is following the specs of the services you intend to support, and the Bryson doesn’t. It has a smaller buffer than what Qobuz and Tidal mandates as one example that I am aware of, I am sure there are others. ' This could be true but I've never heard or seen anything to substantiate it. Do you have a citation from someone reputable that supports and clarifies this claim? I'd like to read it if so. |
