pfarrell is wrong here and mauidan is right. Jitter is not important to most consumers, but to audiophiles it is of central importance. Low jitter means the difference between getting high-end sound and not. A lot of important information is subtly contained an audio signal, including the attack and decay of instruments, their timbre, the sense of space in the room if a live recording, and where each instrument is located in that space. Jittery signals still give the basic music, but the subtle cues that bring it to life in a good system are seriously compromised. Timing is of great importance in audio, and jitter is a timing problem.
