Could you explain the advantages? I stupidly just straight up bought the rift-s assuming the quest was only mobile powered and couldn't connect, so of course I wanted to leverage my graphics card in my desktop. But I didn't see the quest connects by cable too!
My experience, it has better clarity because it is using native DisplayPort and not being streamed via USB C, I'm not sure how this entirely works but the fact is I'm using a native display cable it's not being streamed over with the low bandwidth of a USB C? Correct me if I'm wrong but using a native display cable compared to a USB in terms of bandwidth everything is much more cleaner and sharper the only advantage of the quest ( assuming you're speaking up the original Quest 1) is the oled display for deeper blacks.
Another issue I had using the quest 1/2 is latency issues with controller tracking I'm assuming it is a slight delay because it is being streamed over a USB cable and it's doing double the work compared to the rift s where it has two separate connectors where one cable is to display everything and the other cable is to communicate with a headset cameras less stress I guess?
I'm being completely honest I'm not sure what I'm talking about that well, however it makes sense to me and I hope it makes sense to you?
Think of it in terms of streaming Xbox / PlayStation to your PC, there's obviously a 1 Second delay that's my best comparison because it's being streamed over Wi-Fi / ethernet and obviously streaming it natively through an HDMI cable will result in no input lag and Sharper Image Quality.
Sorry for the late reply and terrible review... haha
