If you use a regular PC/Mac without any tuning/care to playback optimization I still think AIR ethernet is better. WiFi in my opinion should be avoided completely unless you live somewhere without any close neighbors.
An interesting comment re the USB input outperforming wired Ethernet (with optimised front end). I have seen similar comments previously. The question is why? This puzzles me slightly.
