I don't think there is *any* impact on sound quality: the audio data on
both sides is binary identical: hence no loss by transmission.

So perceptually they're identical (netjack uses float as sample format, at
the same samplerate: so just like an normal JACK patchbay connection,
nothing is lost ). For details on encoding etc on netjack checkout this
page http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/WalkThrough/User/NetJack
Using certain encodings / bit-depths will cause reduction in sound quality:
as defaults I think its binary identical... perhaps don't quote me though,
I'm not an author of any of the implementations...

The questions that will show the difference between netjack, netjack2 and
JackTrip are how jitter / packet loss / latency are handled / compensated
for.
