Jitter on the s/pdif is measurable with the correct (expensive) equipment and test procedures. The debate is about how/to what extent it impacts the DAC and its analogue output - ie what we actually hear. On audition some DAC's are impervious to even quite high jitter, others are rather sensitive to it. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
