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!

One word: MESH. Our home has three nodes on a ASUS Mesh network. The node in the living room is separated from the hi-fi by a 25’ Cat8 cable to ameliorate any noise being generated by the wifi node. 

This is a major improvement over the internal wifi module in the Bluesound 2i. 

Happy listening.
