So i'm reading a lot and learning a lot about jitter. From what i understand so far, digital jitter is fairly prevelant in digital coax and digital optical transmission methods, but i don't know, or haven't read anything about jitter regarding USB transmission methods. So can you tell me all you...

Running a Little Dot DAC_II off an inspiron 1520, and notice that every 1-2 seconds, theres a very noticeable jitter. I've tried changing power settings, and going into bios and turning off Intel IDA, though I'm not able to pinpoint the problem. I have no idea why there is a jitter being...

Found a wonderful resource about jitter basics - clear, well illustrated, and easy to read. http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/diginterf1_e.html

I have access to an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer. Can I use them to measure jitter? My knowledge of these things is decent when it comes to pulsed RF but not so much with audio.

Are there any? Most high-end cd players have one or another way to buffer the incoming data to eliminate jitter (some call it "jitter jail") so it left me wonder if there's such things as it.

I think it would be interesting to compare the outgoing jitter of our digital sources, in order to understand which device does better in this field and if clock mods can bring measurable benefits. This is the procedure:Set 44.1/16 as default audio format in the option of both the playback...

I may be hyper sensitive to jitter. I can hear the mettalic pops in almost all CD's. As I understand it an external DAC has more jitter especially one like the Zhalou. Would I be better off with a soundcard analog out to an amp skipping an external DAC?

My I2S clock is going to have 2nS jitter I think this is unacceptably high so I will use a pll to generate a clock with less short term jitter. Doing some rough calculations for 16bit accuracy in the time domain I require a jitter of <5pS?!? this seems smaller than is possible, I will go through...

...of digital audio). It's a little dated, but there's some fantastic info here. I "bolded" what I found to be the most significant parts.   Jitter Correlation to Audibility   The correlation of jitter measurements to audibility is in its infancy IME. The problems start with the...

I plan to connect my rig with Airport Express and one the fellow Head-fi suggest to use jitter reducer. I am trying to educate my self since I am pretty new to audiophile. My first question will be can I hear jitter . . . or only an experienced audiophile can hear jitter in the sound. How...

So it seems my laptop's USB ports have a high amount of jitter, so much that my DAC detect it and create crackling sounds when I listen to music.  I wonder if there are ways to lower this jitter.  Would reformatting my computer help?  My comp didn't always have this issue but it has seem to have...

...xv-10 dvd player, while looking for reviews i found this review where it is compared to other players, in the review they measure the “audio jitter” and the xv-10 happens to be the best of the group, with a score of 180ps (??). My questions is, does this measurement rates the quality of...

All this clock and jitter talk has me a bit confused, actually more than a bit. I've come to realize that some amount of reclocking/jitter control would be a good thing, especially since I'm pretty much locked into using a Toshiba or other relatively cheap DVD player as a transport. I'm...

HI all. I don't know so much about jitter and the whole process of digital data streaming, and from what i learned so far, jitter is when the digital bits don't arrive in time to the dac or something like that... can you guys explain to me exactly what jitter is (correct me if i was wrong)...

1.what exactly is jitter? (i know that, just would be nice to have an informative answer) 2.why portable devices with digital output are more likely to have jitter problems then home devices? 3.what part in the device determines its jitter? (or, where is the jitter actually created)...

I need a soundcard with excellent digital out for a jitter sensitive DAC. I prefer optical, but coax is also an option. I don't care about analog out or gaming capabilities. It has to be better than the RME Digi 96/8 PAD I already own. How good is your recommended soundcard compared to...

Hey Everyone I've heard that USB inherently has very low jitter: http://www.wavelengthaudio.com/Cosecant.html I've also heard that it introduces all sorts of jitter. What's the truth here? I really want to directly couple my Sonica to my Panasonic XR-50 but if it would be better for me...

...all around on the same substrate.. following are measurements taken on one of the popular DVD chipsets by Zoran.. 256x44.1 MCLK jitter spectrum: 256x48 MCLK jitter spectrum: the whole 2k frequency span around the center frequency is heavily poluted, the spikes are...

...sounds like the edge buzzes, can't really describe it, seems like lagging a little bit but mainly just buzzes or sounds frayed. Is this what jitter sounds like? Should I add a dip between the ud-10 and the dac? I havent had time to charge the battery for the ud-10 so I am hoping that this...

...released and announced, I wonder how long it will be before we see DACs with HDMI input? I'm quite curious to learn if HDMI DACs will be jitter free in some situations - when using lossless DTS / Dolby encoding, since the bistream is variable bit rate packed (unpacked by the receiver /...

as the topic title spells it out, I'm having crazy jitter with my usb DAC/AMP I bought this to enjoy music, not to dislike it. Every time something moves on my screen, I get jitter. If I move my mousecursor, I get jitter. And ofcourse there is the constant high pitched jitter. I already use...

...specially the posts coming from drp, tiberian and jpelg, who had both at home in order to compare them. Could you please tell me about the jitter in the mini dac? I heard that DAC-1 and Bell Canto have great jitter correction, but I don't know about the mini dac. Any other comment that...

All the threads I read in here are too technical when talking about jitter. ...but I just care about the music, so is jitter something that can be heard?

is there a way that i can measure the jitter coming out from my dac? is there a special device for that or something...? another question is, what term is used to describe jitter amount? thanks!

To all headfi resident electronics gurus, where does jitter come from? If I rip all my CDs to wav files to a harddrive, then hook up the optical out on my soundcard to a receiver's DAC, will there still be jitter?
