RE: part 2 will cover sw (here's some info)

I agree with you on the jitter because I have proven it to myself through a series of experiments, some with reclocker and some without. Some using Wi-Fi/networked playback and some using USB/Firewire and S/PDIF.

The thing is that comparisons like these should show ALL playback software sounding as good as it can when a reclocker is used. This is not always the case however, particularly with iTunes. Even after the jitter is minimized with a reclocker that totally isolates the computer clock, Amarra still makes an improvement.

This can only mean that something in addition to jitter is at work in this case. I'm not saying that Amarra does not reduce jitter, because I believe it does, however it sounds better than iTunes even with a reclocker used for both.
