If anything, ethernet should still be the more stable choice.Also, at risk of stating the obvious, you are of course still limited by the line speed and the primary router. (I.e. gigabit port on the device can still only go as fast as the smallest bottleneck higher in the chain).I also find that (Apple phones to Marantz and other devices) that higher res Tidal can be a bit finicky sometimes, so I think it’s more likely a Tidal problem.</blockquote>
