WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection

I’ve only ever streamed via Ethernet. After reading this thread, I became curious about how it would sound via Wi-Fi so I disconnected Ethernet. Well crap! Now my tiny mind thinks listening via Wi-Fi is slightly more holographic. Live and learn. Conventional wisdom may not hold true in all instances.

I have zero Wi-Fi in my listening space. Sounds 100 times better than when I was using Wi-Fi. I have also upgraded my digital front end and we are all f/o

@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.

Etheregen from UpTone Audio!

made a huge difference. Changed the game for me.
Ethernet cable does matter. Everything matters. 

If you have standard network gear there is usually no difference between Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If you have decent audiophile network hardware, low noise LPS e.t.c then ethernet pulls ahead and can be noticeably better.

I think the whole jitter/reclocking theory about audiophile switches is wrong, and it's more likely high frequency noise is passed down the chain that ultimately effects the D/A conversion and small signal amplifications stages. Nothing to do with packet timing e.t.c.

But if that were true wouldn't an air-gap like wi-fi be the ultimate choice? I believe the wi-fi chips themselves have a huge amount of high frequency noise that deleteriously effects local circuitry. For example, if using just a router for all connections, turning off the 2G and 5G internal wireless (if possible) leads to an increase in transparency. Those wi-fi chips are not designed to be near delicate small signals and DAC's.
