You are correct - jitter cannot be eliminated because it is always present to some extent. What can be done in the DAC design is to minimise the impact that residual jitter has on outbound sound quality. The fact remains that some DAC's do this better than others. How well a DAC does this is not always a function of DAC cost. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
