Interesting and highly plausible explanation of my problem as well. But, how can AIR work but not RAAT? Different types of buffering? Less sensitivity to packet loss? Based on John's comments on the Roon forum, "I can say with confidence that RAAT shouldn’t be affected by the ethernet cable as long as it is within-spec." well, I suppose an intermittent connect cable would be out of spec.
I have tried your wiggle test but, alas, I can't reproduce the problem. But that doesn't rule it out this past Sunday when the problem occurred.
I'm going to call the problem fixed for now. I think the most enlightening thing I learned was that such a problem could occur after a Devialet firmware/OS update if playing RAAT before the 2nd reboot.
