Yeah, and SPDIF carries the data to overcome it. It is not a matter of
the protocol, it's a matter of implementation. And that's why DACs have
an input buffer. Jitter at the SPDIF layer should not be an
unsurmountable issue. But no one disputes it can be an issue with a
flawed design.

# It can have a dramatic and easily audible effect 

It can. With a well implemented design it shouldn't. Someone else out
there can tell us whether the good DAC chipes have an input buffer or
not to avoid starvation. Basic voice communication codecs from 10 years
ago did, so I am pretty sure DAC designers would take starvation issues
into account.

Thanks. I suggest you provide useful information instead of just going
ad hominem, because I haven't seen you make a point.
