As I asked in the thread title: Is the amount of jitter a function of the type of connection?
What I mean is does the amount of jitter vary for different types of connection? So is there more or less jitter present in a USB connection than in a coax connection? More or less jitter present in a coax connection than in an Ethernet connection? More or less jitter present in an Ethernet connection than in file played from a memory buffer? More or less jitter present in a file played from a standard hard drive or a file played from an SSD? More or less jitter present in a file from an SSD or a file played from RAM? And finally: Is some amount of jitter always present regardless of connection type? Please note: I am not trolling, I am trying to get a better understanding of jitter and what causes jitter in the first place.
