  1. From the earliest days of cd, right through to the present, the overall sound quality of digital is largely dictated by the absence or presence of jitter. Jitter basically destroys the precision of transient signals, resulting in sound that may be described as harsh, cold, smeared, or any of the manifold adjectives that have been used to describe"digititis".Any digital -to- digital transfer is inherently jitter-prone unless re-clocking or other preventative measures are taken. The removal of jitter brings digital audio into another realm, where musical enjoyment is not only possible but predictable. The maturation of digital can be directly traced to jitter reduction throughout the recording &playback chain today. While there are other factors, if significant amounts of (the bad kind) of jitter are present, quality of analogue circuitry, power supply , etc,. will not matter. Only if jitter is residualised will other design aspects surface as important. Jitter elimination remains the key goal in digital audio. Thank You-CA
