Umm... why??? Jitter is not some magical thing, which if you could only get rid of would make the music more artistic - that's simply nonsense. Jitter is a source of unwanted and often anharmonic and unpleasant frequency components which make music sound bad. Getting rid of it produces a sound more true to what was originally recorded, just like getting rid of any other form of distortion. A much better analogy would be that it's like listening to the same singer but with someone scraping their nails down a blackboard nearby (although of course in reality it's never anything like that bad). A while back I posted a website with sample sound files which had been deliberately distorted in various ways, including with jitter. It might be useful to listen to that to see what highly jittered music sounds like. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26306 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
