Ugh, really? Wow, I stand corrected.
That's a really weird feature to include in a product that already has Ethernet and wifi (both of which are more than fast enough for audio)....
It's not at all weird when you consider that it might enable integration with Phantoms, which already have power-line communication built in.
Whether or not it's desirable (from a sound quality point of view) is debatable, as always.
Yes and even without Phantom integration, if this PLC function can connect to my Devolo PLC encrypted network, it would allow me to get rid of the plug I’m using currently to connect my D220.
As per the impact on SQ, I have never perceived any negative impact, and I’m of the opinion that with products thay have properly designed PSUs, which is explicitly the case of the pro version which is mentioning PLC compatibility, SQ is not a problem.

PS: as per my signature you can see that my D220 pro and my D110 before are/we’re fed by PLC.
MacBook Air M2 -> RAAT/Air -> WiFi -> PLC -> Ethernet -> Devialet 220pro with Core Infinity (upgraded from 120) -> AperturA Armonia
