Who do you mean with "we all" ? ;) Lossless in what sense? If you mean no impact on sound - I won't agree - not at all. You can read on my blog what we figured out over a couple of weeks period digging into that subject. Network cables must be considered antennas!!! There is nothing like ITU-T (http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-K.27-199103-S) conform earthing applied in normal households. When it comes to streaming solutions. I'd say the perfect solution would be full-file-network-copy. That's what I have implemented on my network PC system. Via NFS I bulkcopy 2 "complete" files right onto the receivers RAM disk. Loading a file that way just takes seconds. You won't face continous load this way.
