I don't really think it's something you hear, but it is something you ntoice when it's gone. I don't think usually jitter adds sound. I think of it more as something that doesn't allow the information to be passed correctly...it corrupts the data. When the jitter is lowered, more information is passed correctly, and you hear more of the details cpatured in the original data. When I upgraded my transport I heard more details and more of everything...everything was more realistic and transparent. My old transport still sounds great with the same DAC, but the better transport passes more information intact.
sound of jitter
Hi guys, I wonder, how does jitter actually sound? Is it a sort of coloration that gives a nasty hard edge to the music or just the opposite (warm, glowing tube-like character, hehe). Is the ugly sound which emanates from the early CDP's (from the 80's) only contributable to jitter? What is your opinion: is jitter the only shortcoming which keeps CD's from sounding analoge-like? If this is the case, a zero jitter CDP should sound similar to good analoge.
