I don't think the difference is jitter. I think it is more like one or two LSBs of the CD's data getting truncated somehow. Unless jitter causes a similar sonic deficiency. (There was a recent post here from someone claiming he could not distinguish a real sonic difference between high-rez MP3 and CD.)The difference I hear is in resolving the finest of details. Things like hearing the hall's shell, the *sparkle* of triangle, the "sheen" of a cymbal, the natural harmonics of a violin, the continuity of attack and decay of a piano. "Air" between the instruments. Brass sounding "sweet" instead of "hard." The ease of hearing a harmonic line. "Splashy" dynamics morphing into "bass slam." A *huge* improvement in stage depth.
