But true audiophiles drag Ethernet cable from a high speed switch.
How does this impact sound quality? Is there any data/evidnce of the
differences? I really would like to know.
It is not about quality.
The problem is dropouts. If the music is there, delivered by the
TCP/IP connection errorlessly, the sound is the same.
Lossless is lossless.
But WiFi transmissions can fail with small glitches that require
retransmissions, which break the flow of the stream, which breaks
the music.
WiFI can be disrupted by a long list of things, including your microwave
oven, a wireless landline phone, your neighbor's kid using massive
amount of traffic with bittorrent, etc.
Using a wire to a high speed switch makes the delivery vastly more
robust.
