Jitter may be a problem, but like you say, only at the final stage. Read a CD at 10x or more, store it on a memory chip that costs pennies these days, and read and reclock it from there. I guess that's what we do now, but it took too long to get there. They were trying to solve for imperfect streams, when the stream could be eliminated entirely.
I had an original Magnavox CD player, the FD1000 I think it was, it came out at the same time as the first Sony as Philips and Sony developed it jointly. I never should have given that away. This was the player that Meridian took and modified and sold for a small fortune. I never heard the Meridian version though. It was the coolest component that I had at the time. I had to drive for an hour to buy CDs for it. I still have some of those early CDs and they just sound awful. It is amazing that anybody went along with CD, it was like fingernails on a blackboard with classical, rock albums without any bass, jazz sounded like it was being played behind a screen.
"Perfect Sound Forever". Forever lasted 30 years.
