That's not a reason for it to sound worse... People should compare the two & I highly doubt there'll be any difference.Originally Posted by rikardo1979

WiFi or Not
There were similar arguments with the Squeezebox Touch. To be honest I could not tell the difference between WiFi and LAN on that either.
I have run RPi1 via LAN (USB output) and RPi3 via LAN and WiFi (SPDIF output via Digi+). In both cases I stream from a NAS. I cannot detect a difference between WiFi and LAN. You can also disable the Bluetooth in the RPi3, if you so wish. The WiFi on the RPi3 is very solid (and more stable than a WiFi bridge I had previously in the same location).
I run picore player and the RPi3 is powered by Li ion battery, which I suspect makes the most difference of all, as it did with the SBT.
Cheers
Alastair
