Anybody have a technical definition for "Jitter"??


I keep reading about "jitter", but I can't seem to find it defined anywhere. What is it? How does if affect the system? Does a DIP really make a significant difference? I hear the Monarchy Audio 24/96 DIP is good. Thanks!

I ain't no jitter expert but all digital players must break the original signal, which is one continuous signal, into little bits and take a finite amount (44.1kHz or larger if oversampling is used) of samples from the original signal. If there is an error in the sample timing, such as irregular sampling intervals, they call it jitter. It was also a dance in the 1920's and is a lot of fun.

No Rayhall, I distinctly remember doing the Jitter in the 20s. I was doing the wow and flutter in the 40s.
