It’s high end networking as an entire multi £bn industry. The entire world literally falls apart if data isn’t 1:1 when transmitted.
Any audiophiles out there?

That's a route to madness. If you think like that you'll be like Gene Hackman's character at the end of the film The Conversation.Even more badly after that, each correction procedure uses power from the power supply and adds noise inevitably
By what mechanism does one correctly-decoded bit sound different from another when transmitted asynchronously before sitting in a buffer before being passed on to a dac (verily likely via a further asynchronous transmission and another buffer or two)?Accepted and that sounds badly)
QEDIf it was really that unreliable half the posts on these threads would be unreadable gibberish...

That depends what you mean by "sound the same" but basically yes and yes. But have a go at answering the question: what is the mechanism?Have you tried at least 2 digital sources head-to-head in the system? Did they sound the same?
It’s a captive plug so this label says “You mug, you’re supposed to throw away the crappy thing we’re obliged to put in the box”.I assume the label is to identify the correct orientation in your directional mains cable (although no longer strictly necessary once you've put the plug on.).
but basically yes and yes
Oh that mechanism. Apologies I should not be interrupting you from your lab work.You have absolutely no worries therefore, why to care about mechanism?
For those who feel there’s a kind of difference, it’s simple - in the world of streaming audio each network component is effectively a part of the source. Its power supply, grounding etc. has almost the same impact as if it was inside the streamer. The fact that they’re separated into different boxes inside the house somehow makes people think it’s not important for the sq, idk why really.

Still no answer. I came to the thread open minded. Is Wi-Fi worse than Ethernet? Thinking logically, I can’t get over the data aspect. There is no difference in the end packet however it’s transmitted and over what medium. It’s bit perfect.You have absolutely no worries therefore, why to care about mechanism?

You make almost zero sense with the way you respond. I was paraphrasing the thread title.No, I use both simultaneously
The air in my home is filtered thank you very much. I pass it all through my vacuum cleaner which has muliple HEPA filters.I don't think this is quite right.
You can upgrade your ethernet cable to audiophile grade cryogenically frozen plutonium with diamond encrusted quantum connectors but wi-fi is stuck with the lame sounding consumer-grade air in your house.
Something to think about.
