Anybody have a technical definition for "Jitter"??

I keep reading about "jitter", but I can't seem to find it defined anywhere. What is it? How does if affect the system? Does a DIP really make a significant difference? I hear the Monarchy Audio 24/96 DIP is good. Thanks!

I haven't heard the DIP, but used a Sonic Frontiers Ultra Jitterbug for several years, and it did make an improvement improvement, ie reduced glare and improved smoothness. Good Luck. Craig

If there is an error in the sample timing, such as irregular sampling intervals, they call it jitter. It was also a dance in the 1920's and is a lot of fun. Sincerely, I remain
