You are talking about packet jitter rather than timing jitter I assumed. With packet jitter, the difference can be solved by the buffer unless the latency is extremely large, then you might have buffer overrun or underrun. In either case, this will result in skipped sound or pop corn noise.
That's what I was thinking, that Stommager was describing how an asynchronous DAC works. In an adaptive DAC, we are relying on the computer's internal clock for better or worse. The bits may get there on time, but not necessarily in time. IMO there's a difference, and that's where jitter issues can come into play.
