richms: Jitter is one of the biggest cons in the audio world. Mattered in the old days where things didnt reclock things like on the very first CD players, as soon as there was oversampling in DA converters it would either lock onto the clock with its PLL or not, any jitter bad enough to make a PLL lose lock would indicate that there was something broken in the source material.

Even when there is jitter, the resulting noise from a sample being latched a few nanoseconds earlier or later will be immaterial.

PC motherboards are able to push signals around them with clock speeds faster than the claimed measurable jitter change between audiophools with their overpriced digital cables.

Besides. If there is any DSP being done on the data it necessitates having a buffer in the AVR so the jitter is totally removed before it hits its DACs
