RE: 'Ultra-low jitter in my book is 10's of picoseconds, not 1nsec'

I have devices now with extremely low jitter. Cannot be measured on a scope at 3nsec per division. I have to believe that below 200-300psec it is pretty much inaudible in the very best systems on the planet. You have to understand that a system capable of discerning this is a world-class system with extremely low noise and sibilance. I believe only about .1% of systems in existence are in this league. Every component in the system, and the cables must be the very best, and modded not stock. No combination of stock components is capable of this level of performance IMO. When I do an A/B test of jitter, virtually every listener hears the difference. The effect is not subtle in an ultra-quiet system.

If you are not hearing differences in jitter, you are not alone. Most systems have enough other noise and sibilance to drown it out.
