It doesn´t matter if it is UDP or TCP since it is not a digital problem. The packages has been showed to always arrive perfectly in a normal home/hifi situation: https://www.alpha-audio.net/background/measuring-ethernet-cables-part-1/

To summarize this thread (feel free to object) this is mainly a noise problem in the digital domain that causes the square waves (electrical pulses that forms the bits) to become irregularly shaped in the DAC step. The human brain is very sensitive to the time domain and can notion when the time:ing is off (caused by these irregularly shaped square waves) down to pico seconds, from what i understand.

We are mainly talking about measures to make sure that these square waves (bits) are as accurately shaped as possible, by mainly removing as much noise as possible, before the DAC step.

These are theories explained by Hans Beekhuyzen recently.
