This video by digital audio reviewer Hans Beekhuzen should help you understand. And, why fiber sounds better than a run of ethernet. it also explains why the Gigafoil referenced above works, too.

Hans is my go-to reference for all things related to digital audio and streaming, as well as things like streamer reviews, how to set up speakers, etc. A very objectively minded guy who understands that the perception of music is a subjective experience. Highly recommended.
