CDP's can and do have jitter. How anyone could think otherwise is beyond me.

The reason I am knocking the guy is the simplistic approach he is taking. Listen to stuff rather than try and show technically its all perfect and don't worry about it.

Like I have said I have been privy to listening tests with some pretty expensive and heavily tweaked CDP's and computer audio. Computer Audio MURDERED it.

Thanks

CDP's do have jitter. But as we all know by now the amount of jitter has been reduced by newer generations of players to a level that is measurable but no longer audible, even to the most discerning ears. AES has had some interesting but lengthy papers on the subject.
And thank you, Tmsorosk, for the further clarification.
I'll try to understand those AES papers.

I guess if I get more clarification, then, like butter, all the impurities will separate and a finer product will arise, which will allow me a recipe for better for sound.:-)

All the best,
