sound of jitter


Hi guys, I wonder, how does jitter actually sound? Is it a sort of coloration that gives a nasty hard edge to the music or just the opposite (warm, glowing tube-like character, hehe). Is the ugly sound which emanates from the early CDP's (from the 80's) only contributable to jitter? What is your opinion: is jitter the only shortcoming which keeps CD's from sounding analoge-like? If this is the case, a zero jitter CDP should sound similar to good analoge.

Eliminating jitter will not result in what audiophiles consider analog sound. There are any number of D/A converters and other outboard devices that reclock the incoming digital datastream and thereby eliminate jitter, yet they don't sound analog like.
Take a highball glass and then put in three ice cubes. Put in a large amount of bourbon. Pick-up glass. Shake hand from side to side in short quick movements. That is jitter. Cure for jitter? Drink glass full of bourbon.

Onhwy61 - these devices usually reduce jitter, they do not eliminate it.

Jitter can sound like high-frequency sibilance or like echoes or halos around the instruments.
