Good question, Jack. I prefer a hard connection if possible. I am a reluctant streamer to begin with, slow to convert. I still prefer physical media too, but decided to try this streaming thing slowly. I’ve always been a slow adopter, but I usually eventually get there. The built in streamer is more convenient, no doubt. However, I suspected the cable may sound better. To my ears it does so far.
Now, I can do both.
Best,
Shrinky
