Now I can confirm from my own experience. Dlna sounds better then AirPlay over wifi.
Don't understand it, as it is the same data played over the same system, but I can hear it quite clearly. Tighter sound, more clearly defined.
Quite a good 'upgrade' for the tenner the cat5e cable cost me.
Edit: btw it's not a *night and day* difference but more like 5-10% in my experience.
Its quite simple - Airplay uses UDP which does not have error retry - so it has to compensate for missing packets, DLNA is TCP/IP based so any failed packets just get resent.
On a short-range home network it wont make much of a difference.
