I agree with this. The main advantage to hardwiring is going to be the
added bandwidth and avoidance of dropouts. I can't say that my Touch
sounds any better since I wired it up, but I don't get any dropouts
when listening to high bitrate files (FLAC audio or 320k radio
streams]

I almost went the powerline route, but after reading a lot online I
concluded that the MoCa (internet over coax) was a better solution for
me given the age of my house and the state of its wiring. Here is the
hardware I went with:
