Just because it has high jitter does not mean that it necessarily sounds bad. The jitter spectra could be inaudible to most humans. I have customers with this DAC and they tell me is is very good. Sometimes musicality is more important than detail.

  How do we measure musicality?

    With our ears, in stereo.
    
    Electronic instrumentation and classical measurement techniques are not able to do it IME. It will take a multi-dimensional measurement to do this I believe, including phase, magnitude and frequency for two channels in a two-dimensional plot. This plot will also need to be swept over gain settings so that compression due to absolute level can be observed. Nothing like this has ever been done to my knowledge.
