Actually, let me add one more thing. In some ways, the most astonishing way to see the effects of jitter is on CDR copies of CDs, made at different speeds. Until I got my Transporter, etc, I hoarded old Plextor CDR drives, which I used to make 1X copies of CDs. The differences between 1X, 4X, and 16X copies were readily apparent---the 16X usually sounded closest to the original, with the others sounding progressively better---as were the differences between copies made on the Plextor drives and copies made on DVD writers. It all sounds insane, but it is just due to the different levels of jitter in the signal written to the CD, which then appears at the input of the DAC.
