Re: "the standard stamping equipment adds errors and jitter"

OK, you must be talking of jitter in the recording process. This is jitter that cannot be eliminated with any DAC because it is already in the recording. You cannot have jitter as a result of a pressing because jitter is a phenomenon that only happens when you are converting a digital signal into an analog one. You could have jitter creep into the recording if there are ADC and DAC in the mastering stage before the digits are ready to be pressed. Once the digits are ready to be pressed, that is it (assuming no errors).
