@cakyol , thanks.  If you followed the thread you'd know that has been exactly my approach.

@sns , thanks!  Re #3, for sure longer term listening helps to confirm whether you are satisfied or not with the change, however I found that only very quick back-to-back-to back-to back blind comparison can point out subtle differences.  Our memo...

P.S., as I had posted, I'm getting consistently > 350 mbps at my desktop via wifi, and have never had audio buffering, so no speed issues.

@mendef , if you follow the thread you will discover that the router question had been resolved. I have successfully factory-reset my trusty Netgear AC1750 R6400v2 and it works seamlessly in both wifi and ethernet hi-res audio (Qobuz 192kHz) strea...

Hi Guys, More power to y'all.  I'm not preaching, honestly... Please keep doing what you're doing!! My subtle sound quality perception may not be as refined as some of you, although folks say that I do have a very musical ear (nothing I did to e...

I don't expect to ever hear any of the things you mention as a function of digital bits being somehow altered in such subtle ways.

@sns : 1. As reported, we cannot detect any difference in sound between our wifi and our 50’ ethernet cable. We invite you to stop by and subject yourself to the same blind tests we ran and see if you can hear any difference. I will bet that you ...

Factual correction for the record (not that it affected the outcome):  The CAT 6 cable we used in the evaluation and I subsequently hardwired is 50' long, not 30' (got it mixed up with my bass guitar cable).

@ghdprentice , thanks! I actually got sucked now (really for no good reason!) into "hardwiring" the ethernet cable through the crawl space.  Quite a PITA fishing it through 3 different places, but I figured I already have the cable, have the time...

Epilogue: Hi guys, Well, I broke down under the overwhelming peer pressure and succumbed to the ethernet gospel.  Did exactly as @nagel suggested -- got a high rated 30' CAT 6 cable off Amazon and ran it along the floor, from the router to the s...

@jerryg123 , thank you. That's a pretty good article.  What I'm missing is an explanation exactly how the power supply and switching affects the audio stream sound quality in the digital stage (switch and streamer).  What is the mechanism.  The si... 
Router for Audio Streaming
In my understanding, a digital signal (defined by a stream of binary bits) can be distorted in one of two ways ("failure modes"):  a) a "high bit" or "1" is read as a "low bit" or 0 or vice versa, and b) the timing of the bits is unsteady or fluct...

Sorry guys, not buying (figuratively and literally).  But thanks for the tip!  
Router for Audio Streaming
Gents, no offense intended or taken.  I simply have not enough time or money to try every audio gizmo without some basic understanding of why, how and to what extent it works, and whether it is intended to address a specific "opportunity" with my ...

Please forgive me but for the life of me I cannot see the purpose of this device other than to enrich its manufacturers.
