However, when the streamed bits are untouched and in case that WiFi has no bandwidth problems, connecting an additional cable (Ethernet) to the Phantoms can only have a negative influence to the sound. Without Ethernet the stream is already (bit)perfect, nothing to improve.When I first started exploring the use of an "audiophile switch", I was just as skeptical. I bought the Uptone EtherRegen on the basis that it could be returned within 30 days; it has now stayed for almost 2 years.
It is up to you to decide whether this area is worth exploring. If you decide this is not for you, please continue to respect others...
