That does help. You can also use a streaming service like MOG that uses
320k streams. They sound WAY better then 64k streams.

About 'jitter'. Just really how much is it an issue? Scientific

range (30-300ns Benjamin & Gannon 1998) depending on the type of
signal.

you should also make sure power cables are separate from the

basic electrical engineering.
