Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Depends how you define "measure" :)

"I wonder if there's a way to deliberately increase or decrease jitter in real time while listening for changes in audio quality."

Now you're talking! Especially on the increase end of the knob...

I don't know if data correlated jitter is especially audible or merely a common problem. I need to re-read Dunn's paper, it's been many years. But as an approach to understanding systems, making things worse is more often than not an easier way to get a handle on what's going on than making them better. And it's a lot more accessible to us hobbyists since the only piece of exotic test equipment we need is already mounted to our necks.

Perhaps the sweetest thing about making things worse is that there is virtually no upper limit while at the other end we can only asymptotically approach perfection. Let's do it, let's make our stereos sound worse this very day!

And learn something...
