Riboge has hit the nail on the head. If the system is not resolving enough or quiet enough, then the benefits of low jitter will probably not be noticable, or at least not first-order. This is the case with most audio discussions. People are comparing apples and oranges. Audiophiles systems are at all different levels of perfection.
Just because you cannot hear the benefits of low-jitter in your system does not mean that it will not make a huge difference in another system. Once the system is totally tweaked and ultra-low noise and low sibilance, then jitter becomes the ONLY issue IMO.
Most audiophiles that think they are close to nirvana with their systems are not even remotely close in reality. This I have found from experience.
