I just received the new dongle and if I still have dropout issues I will give that fix a try. Also, recceived the HIFIBerry and can't wait to get it up and running.

Let us know how it goes!  I had the wifi dropout issue as well, as mentioned, it was the power management settings.

I've read that the ethernet bus is shared by the USB bus, so there's a chance of noise introduction, but i haven't noticed any audible difference between wifi and wired. 

Good luck!

I have been using the Edimax EW-7811Un wifi with no problem. There has been no need to change the config on the Pi.

The HIFIBerry DAC is a nice DAC and is very easy to setup and use with PiCorePlayer. I have had no dropout or buffering issues. It sound niice, especially for the price. I just swapped out the Samsung phone charger with a linear power supply I built last night,but have not had a chance to sitdown and give it a listen to see if it improve the sound.
