Hi
Above 24/96, the wifi changes it's mode to increase reliability I believe, I think it changes the clock control from the receiving device (the devialet) to the sending device the PC). It should still be bit perfect but the devialet is receiving a less accurately timed file (more jitter?). Whether this makes any difference depends how well the devialet deals with this, in practice I felt more comfortable with ethernet for DSD and 24/192 but it's probably more paranoia than reality. There are (or were) some pages buried somewhere in devialet's website that talk about this with a more correct technical explanation.
cheers
Chris
