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!

I don’t think Wi-Fi dongle is the answer. Before you change anything else, try a Ethernet passive filter like ENO. It comes with 30 days money back guarantee.

LinkUp LAN (22AWG - Yellow Jacket) is a fantastic cable. I am using it to feed a 5 figures digital front end.

If you are leaning towards inserting a switch between your router(modem) and streamer, I would look into LHY SW-6 Ethernet which checks all the boxes. I ordered one last week to try it out in my 2nd system.
