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!

Bits are bits, everything is a zero or a one. 
Step back for a moment and contemplate.

How is your SSD connected?

What brand and model is your router?

Have you tested the speed of your internet connection?

If you are connected via WiFi have you done a scan to see if there are any other connections hitting your house?

If so, what channel are you on compared to the the others?

Almost all internet connections can be improved by buying your own nice high end router.

If everything I just posted sounds like an adult in a Peanuts cartoon, find a tech that specializes in Networking. If you work in a large company hit up your IT department. I never had an issue with people bringing me their home network issues and if they are good at their job they aren’t busy with work related stuff. Another good source is teenage gamers.

 

What I’m trying to get at is that the music that you are streaming is no different to your network or internet connection then email or a movie. This. Sounds like a streaming issue, but until someone who knows how check it, looks at it, I wouldn’t spend any money on hardware to try and fix it.
