RE: Where's the sonic benefit in hard disk servers?

"But I don't think that jitter is the reason. In a properly designed one-box CD player, theoretically *any* jitter from the transport will be eliminated by the internal buffer. So I think there is something else going on here."

There is nothing else going on, it's jitter.

The CD drive can have just as low jitter as the computer generated stream. It's just a matter of implementation. People take for granted the difficulty of getting a truly low-jitter digital stream. It is non-trivial, even for the most experienced designer:
