I remember a review of an audio device in one of these advertising magazines (forgot what it was, who made it and who reviewed it). Jitter measurements were incredible and the producer admitted he was not looking at that detail because he trusted his ears. Funny enough the review was very positive. The device was around 20k or so. You can add: Measurement matters if they support audiophile folklore, if it doesn't or if it is expensive enough it is tossed away.
