Very interesting article on jitter, error correction and concealment:

Another article...fascinating stuff...about transport jitter:

I'm a little too jittery right now to read it but I'll give it a try monday.

Interesting but one of those is from 1990 and the other is from 1993.

I found this statement interesting.

quote from

http://www.stereophile.com/features/368/index.html

The word clock is the timing signal that controls when the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) converts the digital audio samples into an analog output. Timing errors in the clock produce voltage errors in the DAC's analog output signal, degrading the processor's sonic and technical performance.

This voltage error in DAC analog output, it this what I see when playing a CD the woofer moving in and out slow a very low freq just a pure dc voltage swing? It has to be from the CD player, has the pre / pro and amp are just amplifying the DC error.

I found fascinating was his discovery in the second article that reversing the digital coax would sometimes decrease jitter...

Yep, they're a little dated but still completely applicable.
