If the bits reach the player properly, whether via WIFI or ethernet (even if coming from thousands of miles away, i.e., an internet stream), the outcome is the same. That said, you may have interference, low signal strength, and other issues that affect your WIFI. But that's an entirely different issue. It won't be "lower quality"...it just won't work. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84903 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
