Wireless to Ethernet Adapter for DAC


I stream Tidal through a PS Audio Perfectwave DAC with the Bridge circuit. The Bridge input is an ethernet cable from a router, located in another room. Faced with the prospect of laying a permanent run of ethernet cable in a split-level house, I researched wireless-to-ethernet adapters (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Universal-Ethernet-Adapter-WNCE2001/dp/B003KPBRRW). Internet is piped to the house via optical fiber at 500 Mbps down/50 up, and the wireless reception in the DAC room is about 300 Mbps down/40 up. Does anyone have experience using the linked wireless-to-ethernet adapter or a similar device as input for a DAC? If yes, any difference in the sound integrity vs. using ethernet directly from the router?

Here’s a cheap solution, and you’ll learn something building it:

The nice thing about the Pi is that it's dual band WiFi compatible.
