Wifi vs hardwired for streaming

Hello @larseand Hardwire for me.  But for long runs I use a better but not 'break the bank' ethernet cable from Amazon:

LINKUP - [GHMT & DSX8000 Certified Cat8 Ethernet Patch Cable S/FTP 22AWG Double Shielded Solid Cable | 2000MHz 2GHz 40Gbps | 5th-Gen Ethernet LAN Network 40G Structure Wires |Yellow| 15 M (50ft)

Get the 22 AWG not 26 AWG.  Available in many lengths for reasonable, and to me much better than standard fare.  

oh also, avoid cheap wall connector plates.  I run the long cable 'through the wall, avoiding the barrel connector.  I recommend a better cable (or ethernet filter) just prior to the streamer.  If you need a junction, I recommend these from JCAT:

I am WiFi over mesh with a LAN connection from a mesh node to my Eversolo A8.

The better your streamer the less hard wiring matters. My system is using WIFI extenders and my digital end sounds as good as my outstanding vinyl end. 

Great information. Thanks!
