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.
