Sorry, it's not completely clear to me what you're implying here. I
*think* you seem to be saying that anyone who questions whether jitter
has an audible effect must be wrong.

I am aware of two properly conducted listening tests where the audible
effects of jitter were assessed:

Benjamin & Gannon.
Theoretical and audible effects of jitter on digital audio quality.
105th AES Convention, 1998
Jitter added to digital signal between transport and DAC with a
hardware device.
Conclusions: uncorrelated jitter inaudible below 10nS rms on pure
tones;
uncorrelated jitter inaudible below 20nS rms on music
signal

Ashihara, Kiryu et al.
Detection threshold for distortions due to jitter on digital audio.
Acoust. Sci. & Tech. 26, 1 (2005)
Jitter simulated in the digital domain.
Conclusions: uncorrelated jitter inaudible below 250nS on music
signal.

Both of these trials would tend to support Ethan Winer's viewpoint.
