Should I be concerned by these jitter measurements and if so what can I do about it?


I get most of my music from my WiFi, either from tidal premium or my network server.  It would be very difficult for me to hardwire my CA Azur 851n music streamer to my internet/intranet via an Ethernet hardwire connection.  When I run the  Speedtest.net app on my iPhone my jitter can vary between 5-30 ms.  A second similar app which seems to continuously measure jitter shows jitter on my network  can go as high as 100 ms for brief periods of time.  Are these jitter measurements real?  If the measurements are real are they affecting the quality of my music and if so, what can I do to reduce it? Thanks in advance for your response.

Network jitter is digital package delay, which just results in a needed buffering amount.  It’s totally different than the signal jitter that a DAC deals with.
