Any opinions on this:

Would anything be lost over a cable?


Have you read the reviews at the bottom of the page?


Yes - they seem to mention reliability. Any comments on the concept in
terms of audio? Or is the concept intrinsically unreliable?


From the 'reviews' it looks like the specific device is prone to cross
interference because it uses the same band as other equipment, and falls
over if you expect to get the signal though a wall.

Impossible to say much about sound quality since there seems to be no
detail at all on modulation methods, and lossy data compression, etc. Nor
any relevant test results or serious listening.

"Intrinsically" a radio link can work fine. But you would not be buying an
"intrinsic" concept. You'd be buying an implimentation that might be great
or might be rubbish.

Personally, I'm quite happy to use cables. They work nicely.

Slainte,

Jim
