This is theoretically possible (see the discussion earlier in the
thread).  But if the EMI is causing jitter but is not audible as
increased analogue noise floor, it means it must have a particular
spectrum - almost all its energy should be above 20kHz, and possibly
below 40kHz depending on the DAC.  So that's possible, but isn't
supported by some measurements someone did a while back on the stock
PS.
