I agree in theory there should be no difference. When I was using a Duet and had only standard 16/44.1 files I used wireless and was perfectly happy.
On the Touch I've switched to wired. Main reason is that there were problems on my system with some skips and too much (re)buffering, mainly with hi-res files. Since switching to wired about 99% of these problems have disappeared. YMMV - on my setup it made a difference. As far as sound quality, I "think" I hear a minor improvement with wired, but I may be imagining it. I'm not really interested in serious testing the respective SQs, as I'm staying with the wired for the reasons mentioned above. As a result I've also used the software mods to turn the wireless module off. Is it not true that the wireless module can produce noise that could slightly degrade the SQ? -- firedog Tranquil PC fanless WHS server running SqueezeServer; SB Touch slaved to Empirical Audio Pace Car; MF X-150 amp, MF V DAC3, Devore Gibbon Super 8 Speakers; Mirage MS-12 sub; Dual 506 + Ortofon 20 (occasional use); sometimes use PC with M-Audio 192 as digital source.
