Oh dear. This is just incorrect. What you are actually experiencing is the varying ability of a CD player to accurately retrieve and replay information from disks that were written under different circumstances. This has nothing to do with jitter "written to the CD", as there is no clock on a CD. Jitter in the dac might be caused by noise on the psu lines affecting the clock quality as the servos struggle to track the disk pit/land transitions. However, this jitter is not burned into the disk. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
