This is a very interesting observation because ultimately it eliminated cause/effect of the EMI performance of the cable, leaving nothing but the bits, and Ethernet with CRC and retransmission on error is indeed bit perfect.
I can’t explain that one. I’ll add it to list.  |
Streaming services and their apps give two hoots about CRC. They do not re-transmit - if you missed a few frames on Netflix, they do not care - they just keep streaming. My observation on Tidal is same. A computer file transmission will be 99.9 percent bit perfect. Not so with streaming services.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
