See, I figured that it was a measurement stunt.
Peachtree DAC iT vs. Benchmark's DAC1
I have read that Peachtree Audio's new DAC*iT re-clocks jitter to 3 picoseconds "when measured at the master clock," whatever that means.
Atkinson's DAC1 review in stereophile states a jitter rate of 157 picoseconds for 16-bit audio signals.

First question: considering that a picosecond is one-trillionth of a second, can we even hear the 154 picoseconds difference?
Second question: is there any truth to Peachtree's claims, they have a DAC that smokes the Benchmark in jitter reduction for half the price? Or is this just a trick of how the jitter is measured?
