Bartok directly connect with NAS by LAN cable

Here’s some information on the loop port:

Loop Ethernet port on Bartok rear side

After reading the manual, I still could not understand what the 2nd Ethernet port (loop) is for and how it works. This is a pass-through port. I connected Metronome DSS streamer to it, so that it would be convenient to compare it with Bartok’s network board. Are there any benefits from such a connection? Share your thoughts on this.
