TVB; I think you've hit the nail on the head here. Jitter is most likely the key parameter; a little bit of drift probably would not be noticed. I wonder if the real problem is not the noise that would be generated by jitter, but phase errors between channels? The ear is quite good at determining the phase of arriving signals; if, during playback the timing jumped between the decoding of the left and right channel some interesting artifacts might appear, and they would not be -90dB, they would be at the level of the playback signal being an actual error in the reproduction. I will say that I wish the 'record' companies would put a little more effort into the accuracy of their clocks. I've come across CD's that were obviously recorded with a control clock that was in error, since on playback the actual sound was 'slow' (and yes, I tried it on several players to make sure it was really the CD). But no one has commented on the song...
