What does Jitter sound like?


I keep hearing the term jitter used to describe a kind of distortion that is especially problematic with CD Players.

What does Jitter sound like?
How can I identify it?

The sound of one bit clapping. Hardly an issue in modern design cd playback systems. The TI/BurrBrown chips, transports and all are from essentially the same sources. I am not denying there are design and thus sound differences-- some more pleasing to some of the people some of the time.....

Also I will admit there are other factors in the digi stream as well. Have intentionally kept my ears away from mega-buck digi-playbak systems for fear of endless dissatisfaction and upgrades for minor and subjective improvement.
