Been wondering about this: How does a CD Transport effect sound? Isn't it just reading the disc and sending the 1s and 0s to the DAC. Shouldn't every transport sound the same?
Jitter is an interface issue and will always be affected by the data stream no matter what cables you use. The detection of the clock timing embedded in the digital audio is always jitter prone - no matter what device is upstream.
The ONLY thorough solution is to accept interface jitter as a fact of life and use a DAC that rejects it. No matter how much jitter is reduced upstream there is still going to be jitter. Select a DAC that rejects interface jitter and then all that you will hear is the inherent jitter in its own internal asynchronous clock driving the DAC.
