    "Now this first point is also a general tip but it’s just as important for the Node. If not more so. This box will produce a satisfactory audio output via Wi-Fi but if you want a sense of quality from the Node then I highly recommend hooking it up to the wall and listening in wired mode via Ethernet.

    Sorry that’s just Paul Rigby’s personal opinion, with his external equipment and mains supply, anything audible would be easy to prove with grabbing a digital sample using Wi-Fi and Ethernet and transposing the plots to see the difference.

    LAN or WiFI is the transport layer. With CRC-checks, they will receive the same stream with no errors.
    I wonder if you can see the difference in images on your monitor too.

    It’s a bit like buying better Ethernet leads, if the data could actually change then the figures in your spreadsheet would also.

    Well, my ears tell me that the cable connection has more power in the bass and the highs and mids are more crystal clear. I didn't believe it until I tried it on my Node N130. I can't show you graphs, I'm sorry but that's the reality. And since I have to take a cable of almost 3m to the Node from my router to better listen to my music, I am going to return the Node where I bought it since I have time to do it. Luckily I've tried it, it's a pity that's the way it is.
