RE: Computers as an audio platform is very suitable for jitter reduction

Sound cards all have very jittery clocks IME. The computer has little or nothing to do with it either. I have evaluated a LOT of different clocks, and found only two that are acceptable to me. One of these is the Superclock4.

The reason that there are superior computer audio solutions to CD players is that the chips available for USB have superior digital PLL's in them. If CD players had minimal buffering and good digital PLL's they would be equally as good.

Wi-Fi has a distinct advantage because the data is networked and packetized. This allows the master clocking to occur at the destination, independent of the source.

If you are looking for really low jitter solutions, spending money on really expensive gear may not get you there. It's making the right choices.
