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.

Do Google search for SPDIF eye patterns. The oscope will work for that.

Spectrum analyzer will work if you send a quarter sample rate tone thru and monitor the output spectrum. Do a search for jtest for details.

Thanks - I don't use SPDIF outputs so I don't think that would work in my case - only interested in the analog spectrum.  Does anyone have a link to a JTEST file at 16/44.1? I've been up and down Google but couldn't find one.

Their used to be some jtest files at Diy audio forums. I can perhaps come up with one later when I am at home.

Just for comparison purposes the single tone by itself is nearly as useful. You are looking for spreading of the tone and upper or lower sidebands of the tone.

Thanks Spruce, that'd be great if you could cook one up! Don't know why it's so hard to find on the net!

If you will pm me with a good email address I have the jtest files I can send you.
