Are you sure this is so bad, compared to a good CD player?  You have to
be careful with these number - jitter has a spectrum, so it can't be
quantified completely with a single number.  

In this case, the low numbers he quotes are the root-mean-square
values.  That is, take a clock edge, subtract the time it occurred from
the ideal time (in picoseconds), square that, sum over all edges, and
then take the square root.  That's almost certainly the standard number
you'd see quoted anywhere, and it's very low, from what I've seen.

The peak-peak values are the largest values of the deviation from ideal
that occur anywhere in the sample set (he doesn't say how long it is,
but it's probably very very long).  

So when you compare, make sure you're comparing apples to apples!
