WiFi is everywhere as are cell phone and microwave frequencies. They really can't be avoided (unless you're remotely isolated enough which is a possibility). I respect Charles Hansen and his opinions but this one is reaching a bit IMO.
For me the problem with computer audio is that one standard has not presented itself as the best and as Charles mentioned you have to deal with isolating noise from the computer as well. There are a lot of good options out there between USB (BTW - Ayre licenses Wavelength technology), firewire, ethernet, and wireless. For me, wireless and computer noise won't affect me as I've addressed the noise on the line issue (either from WiFi or switching power supplies). What I'm more interested in is which format sounds will offer the best results.
Since this stuff is developing and evolving at a rapid pace, looks like I'll be spinning CDs and LPs for a while longer.
