MinimServer installed on PC to enable Naim streamer to access FLAC files on NAS

My naim dealer was very convinced that streaming over wifi does sound better than over LAN. I did not hear a difference with my unit1.

But I recommend the LAN connection because the much better stability of the connection. I would say that this is the biggest problem in transferring the music over wifi twice. If it is a hires track and you transcode to wav with minimserver the wifi way might get problematic with a weak wifi connection. In my case the wifi 2.4GHz signal got lost if someone turned on the microwave oven in the kitchen.

But as long as you do not have any drop outs, the wifi connection should not be a problem.

If LAN does not sound as good as wifi, you also could try a network separator in the LAN cable. This is said to prevent the electrical noise to get into the streamer and DAC. But I did not try this yet.
