I currently have the home theater composed of the Arc, a pair of Era 300, and Sub mini, all of which are connected wirelessly (via home wifi) for now. 

 

Question: wondering if there will be a lift for the sound quality if the Arc is connected via ethernet while other devices remain the same connecting approaching (i.e. Wifi connection) - this is what my friend told me but I suspect it. 

 

thank you

There‘s no difference in sound quality and no need to use the wired lan connection if your system is running well. 
Just if you are running into network problems like dropouts, missing devices… I would recommend wired mode. 
Besides the HC components (Sub and Rearspeaker) directly connect to a 5GHz WiFi that is created by the Arc.
