Wisnon,
I really appreciate your thoughts and perspectives. I have no doubt that jitter has some meaningful effect on performance. It seems however it has become the accepted buzz word and has succumbed to marketing manipulation as the most (only) important digital sonic variable. I still believe fundamental factors such as analog output stage and power supply have a hugh impact on the sound quality. This discussion has become very interesting and educational.
