Archimago - I've stated over and over again that it is physically impossible for humans to hear jitter in the pico second range due the inferior structure of the human ear. Now on the other hand for some strange reason known to only to them, golden eared audiophiles can easily hear picosecond jitter. A good guess as to why this is so might be that audiophiles have non-human ears but an even better guess might be MONEY!!!!
