Here is a slightly different view on this. The wifi one IS a radio transmitter, a lot of audiophiles spend a lot of effort trying to keep RFI out of their systems. SOME systems/configurations can have the sound quality subtly degraded by RFI pickup on the interconnects, power cords etc. Given the above does it make sense to put a radio transmitter right next to your system?
I've tried this in a three different systems (mine and two friends), in my system I can hear a small difference in sound quality with the wifi, one friends made no difference at all, and in the other system it made a big difference, the wifi mode made a significant degradation in the sound. So its hard to say whether the wifi will or will not effect the sound of your system. I went with the wired for my system, primarily because of dropouts, my neighboorhood has a lot of wifi networks and wireles everything going on, streaming audio in this environment is very problematic, even with the large buffer in the newer SBs. The sound change from using wifi wasn't very large, so if there had been an overwhelming reason to choose wifi I would have gon that route, but given the dropouts and the relative ease of adding the CAT5, I just went with wired.
