Phil, I can wholeheartedly (and experiencially) agree with what you have said. In my system and others, we have had a group of audiophiles and non-audiophiles do direct A/B comparisons of different transports and in EVERY case, the one with the lowest jitter not only sounds different, but better. The ruling transport at the moment is a PS-Audio Lambda, which everyone in the room agreed sounded better than others, and in the case of a cheap DVD player and (longer back) a pretty good NAD CD Player, MUCH better! I can only imagine how good the Oracle CD1000 sounds! Just so that I can have realistic expectations of my limits :) how does it compare to the SB2?
