I‘m just exploring another option included in the Devialet CI board. For some time I use the uPnP protocol with Audirvana which I like more than Roon/Air. Both is connected via Ethernet (optical converters and Aqvox SE switch).
Now I have activated wifi on the Devialet and use this also via UPnP. While I was frequently having problems with uPnP at the beginning of a track with some disruptions this is now perfectly working.
Also the SQ has improved. Wifi is now using 5Ghz and I also have a new router (Fritzbox 7590), it seems this is now giving Wifi an advantage over Ethernet. At least worth a try before spending lots of money. It also reduces the number of small boxes significiently.
