My take on it. Importantly to this explanation, there is more to the sound of a DAC than jitter. There might be plenty of audiophile customers who like the sound of (and have invested a lot of money into) their DAC. And those DACs might not have as good jitter rejection of a generic S/PDIF connection as the DACs I was referring to, yet have excellent jitter performance with WC. Those guys wouldn't buy a Transporter without WC input.
