YES!!!!!!!! That is the whole problem: some magazine says x,y, or z. And it may not be correct. Look, I can not make heads or tails of those silly jitter tests. They tell me nothing. Even if they did, how would the consumer know what it meant. ALL OF THAT CRAP IS STUCK IN THERE JUST TO SELL MAGAZINES. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW IT SOUNDS. IT MAKES YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB, BY INTRODUCING YOU TO THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN BUT. AND PRETENDING THAT THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR YOU BY EXPOSING CRAP. They are not doing either. They are just creating unnecessary paranoia in an already paranoid group of consumers. I get sick of answering e-mails about what we are doing in any product to reduce jitter. Like most of the folks that ask would understand. The ones that worry about all of that imaginary crap will only buy what plays to their insecurities. The consumer we are after are the ones that simply want it to sound good in their system. Thankfully, they still exist. Want proof of how "dishonest" the rags are? Anyone read a certain review of a certain product by a bunch that normally makes really expensive stuff that is inexpensive because it is designed to work with another inexpensive computer audio product? The one with no measurements. The one that they were wild about. The one where you can find jitter measurements of all over the 'Net. -Jitter measurements made in the manner that I would-. The ones where it is over 3 nSec. Not 3 pSec, 3 nSec. If you can't hear that, then buy an iPod. And don't publish a magazine full of bogus measurements. (Where's my lithium?)
