What does "jitter" sound like????


How does it manifest itself when a CD is played back through a DAC? How do you know if your transport has jitter problems?

Gracias!

Pick up a copy of Stereophile's Test Disk #2. There's a jitter demonstration track on it that will show you what it sounds like. It won't necessarily help you to recognize when you are hearing it on your own player, though. If you have never heard a CD player without it, you may not recognize when it's there.
