If @audioengr’s measurements are accurate, the SONOS Connect has 9ns of jitter (which I see in the table on the graph, but then for his product, I see it reading 70psec and not 7psec, so not sure), and if your DAC does not jitter reduction, 9ns translates to a noise floor that’s -68dBFS (CD is -96dBFS) or a bit more than 11Bits. Now, he also states that’s a difference of 450x, I don’t know where that number comes from, as the time difference is >1200x more, the bit-depth is <2x more, and the number of bits is ~800x more. Look at all of the peaks in the Sonos jitter, not just one. The jitter from the SM is 450 times smaller than the Sonos. The SM has only one peak. As for what is audible, this depends on how good your system is and how good your ears are. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
In simple terms, digital jitter in an actual music recording or digital stream is virtually inaudible except under very rare circumstances.
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,109948.0.html Nonsense and misinformation. I would never have been able to get multiple best of shows at RMAF, Newport and LAAS if the jitter in my system was equal to that from the Sonos. NFW. Steve N. Empirical Audio |

As stated above:
JVC's Digital K2 machine regenerates clock signals ..The Harmonix Reimyo DAP-777 20bit K2 DAC incorporates the JVC 20bit K2 D/A converter,The core of the K2 contains an exclusive process in the generation of an
analog sine wave, which facilitates the outputting of a full, 20-bit
analog signal at the output terminals. Ergo it reclocks with known efficacy.
