I agree 100%.
That many listeners appear to be able to hear differences between
different transports (and different 'versions' of SB) when feeding
S/PDIF* to the DAC1, IMO, means that the DAC1 is not imune to the
effects of jitter, even if the jitter is transformed into some even
less measurable form of distortion.
* A synchronous binary digital signal contains only two types of
information: the actual data ('1's or '0's), and the time that that
data is valid. Since the '1's and '0's are consistently the same in
the case of the SB, and almost always the same in the case of a CDP and
an undamaged CD, only the timing can be different.
