With everything being said about Ethernet versus wi-fi I must confess that I have been using my Transporter via wi-fi as my main music source for my "big rig" for over 10 years so I guess that wi-fi does work pretty darn good even with the occasional microwave interference :) Living Rm: Transporter-SimAudio pre/power amps-Vandersteen 3A Sign. & sub Home Theater: Touch-Marantz HTR-Energy Veritas 2.1 & Linn sub Computer Rm: Touch-Headroom Desktop w/DAC-Aragon amp-Energy Veritas 2.1 & Energy sub Bedroom: Touch-HR Desktop w/DAC-Audio Refinement amp-Energy Veritas 2.0 Guest Rm: Duet-Sony soundbar Garage: SB3-JVC compact system Controls: iPeng; SB Controller; Moose & Muso Server: LMS 7.9 on dedicated windows 10 computer w/2 Drobos 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107045 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I'm reminded of the light-hearted statement: "All generalizations are false, even this one." ;-) Not everybody has the problem, but wireless connections can very resistant to grounding problems. Personal audio sourced via a LAN is pretty darn inconvenient if wired. arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107045 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I think that is a bit too much of an absolutist statement. If wifi provides enough reliable bandwidth, the portability it provides is a major asset - so for music at a garden party, Wifi beats a wired connection any (sunny) day.

Hi Ralph! Glad to hear that you won't need the cold showers! They used to make my friend Mick, the plumber, *-really-* grumpy (& he could be a belligerent sod at times too, lol) - it was best to keep out of his way for a day after he'd been working in someone's attic ;) . We're agreed that Ethernet is more robust than Wi-Fi, but if in a given situation the Wi-Fi consistently delivers all the required 0's & 1's in a sufficiently timely manner as it did in my former set-up for years, it is not then inferior. And my significant other in those days had this *-thing-* about cables... All I'm saying is that Wi-Fi has its uses - like avoiding divorce proceedings :rolleyes: .
