I have been trying to strategize cutting the USB cord (right now,
one USB, one Firewire...) for my portable synth on and off for a
long time; I really don't like wearing out USB ports and cables
!!!! Was just perusing some of the AoIP conversation and
thinking...and then a thought was given, did a search, and found:

So, at least in theory, for about $160 or so, I could get one of
those and an RPi 2.0 starter kit, run netjack and qmidinet, and
have a 96kHz wifi audio interface with MIDI...? Anyone see an
obvious catch?

Sounds interesting. I've no experience of wifi. What's the
reliability and latency like?

Don't know about yours, but our wifi here reports about 166ms latency
and 0.50% packet loss over the past month, using the FCC Speed Test app
for Android.

My wife wouldn't describe wifi of any sort as "reliable".
