In Reply to: It's jitter posted by audioengr on June 12, 2011 at 18:09:19:
Those were very credible, intelligent articles about jitter- thanks. I see that all digital source chains have the capability of generating a sonic signature based on the way they manage jitter. Quantative data regarding jitter however appears not to be standardized, not well correlated to audible effects, and is not made available to consumers of hi-fi gear. The arguments hence all seem a bit fuzzy.
The good news for computer audio is that there are "low-jitter USB interfaces available now that compete with the best CD playback devices," according to Mr. Nugent. The upshot is we're stuck with a certain amount of jitter coming from USB sources. The effects of that jitter can be managed well enough to be inaudible (or at least tolerable vs CD's) on all systems except those with the most extreme resolving-power. That may be a good enough answer (until the next playback system comes of age).
