Wireless TOSLINK audio. Holy crap, I ran out of desk and it still works. Using two shitty plastic lenses from IKEA lamps. 96kHz 24bit uncompressed. Take that, Bluetooth!pic.twitter.com/Rus4rLaTt8

That's not how TOSLINK works. It's either nothing or everyhing. There are no "packets" transmitted. It's a coded bitstream that also contains the transmission clock. If it can't recover and lock to the clock it won't play anything.
There is a narrow band of link quality where you do get random dropouts, but it's pretty narrow and the dropouts are obvious (and it quickly goes dead as quality decreases). This is the case for most digital links: it's not "all or nothing", but it's closehttps://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1010480322780131328?s=19 …
