"Do you think 'random jitter' might have an affect something like dithering?"The two elements are totally unrelated....
Dither is a process where noise is applied prior to A/D conversion and/or wordlength reduction to mitigate losses in resolution. Jitter is variation of sample timing during playback.
Since the words themselves "sound" similar, I've encountered comments where one term was used but the other was meant. I wouldn't be surprised if I did this personally.
