Some here claim that the dongles work better, depending on the S/PDIF 'HAT' one chooses to use, or so I am told.
I have a bedroom that has poor WiFi coverage so the below was suggested by another inmate. Yet to more the Pi so I haven't tried WiFi as yet but will soon.
What are you using to power your Pi?
In my experience, and my streaming reference is the much more expensive uRendu with a $400 LPS-1 for power, is that the Pi is quite sensitive to the quality of its 5V source. Real audible improvement can be had by a simple $20-$50 PS upgrade.
Cheapo Jameco transformer LPS or the iFi iPower are a couple reasonable choices.
First they came for the dumb-asses
