They input a fixed amplitude and fixed frequency signal to the DAC and expect only that at the output . Any other frequency components (side bands) are considered distortions and/or artefacts of jitter. In essence, this is the same technique (in reverse) used in FM modulation. The audio frequency modulates a carrier frequency. BTW, everybody here seems to be erudite enough on this subject (and more). I am not sure the mission of the OP to pin a signature to the "sound of jitter" is feasible or even worth it. It is probably an academic exercise. As a hobbyist (i am too overworked to get more technical in my hobby as well :-( ), I feel jitter does impact sound negatively.
