Ozzy probably got one of the few SM's with a non-optimal output transformer. These transformers could be very good or not as good. These have been replaced with a different transformer in the new builds. Mods are available for older units to bring them up to date.
There is also a new transformerless version that can be used with DACs that have a transformer on the S/PDIF input. These SM's have very low jitter (max P-P 150psec with 90% of the jitter in the 25psec range). This is system jitter, not just the clock as quoted by most manufacturers.
