I have a question and am seeking opinions. I have a Cambridge Audio AZURE 851N Streamer/DAC and currently have a Studio subscription to QOBUZ. I can stream to the Cambridge either through the Cambridge Stream Magic Android App that uses the Ethernet connection, or I can stream from my PC using the Cambridge USB driver. Both methods can play back 24/192. My question is which connection is technically better? The Ethernet connect is a quality 10' CAT7 cable plugged directly into the back of my Gateway and a high quality USB cable plugged directly into the back of my PC/Server, the cable is 2 meters in length. When I listen and compare the two connection options, they sound slightly different but am a bit confused as to which one is better? Your thoughts would greatly be appreciated.
