kahlenz I think you hit the nail on the head from everything I have read about jitter on engineering and pro audio sites it's another blown out of proportion worry any jitter produced is outside the audible range and if you are using a well built dac no need to concern yourself with it.
The industry DAC designers were asked: what is the biggest issue with digital audio playback?
The unanimous answer was "jitter" was the #1 issue.
Minimize it or you will never realize what digital audio can offer.
