I wonder if non-usb music streams use NRZI?

A while back there was a thread on why such a trivial thing as a missing/inverted bit in a 192KHz, 24 bit datastream should be of concern. The answer given by a forum member was that a missing bit can invert a subsequent stream of bits. To me it sounds like they are talking about NRZI. But the info I've read says that NRZI is the USB transmission format.

So I wonder if what was said was accurate or not. If a non-USB music bitstream is not NRZI, then a missing/inverted bit will not invert the subsequent bits and shouldn't be audible
