By basic principles ( lack of need for a clock recovery circuit ) the
potential
for a 1 box solution to be superior in respect of jitter is indeed true.

Just depends how clean your system clock is.

OK, and my point was/is that the listener who wanted the best and latest
equipment for listening to CD was told (by insiders having good and trained
ears) to go out and replace their adequate single boxes with two boxes with
added jitter. So therefore "jitter" in *practicality* was/is a red herring,
and that they didn't hear the deleterious effect of jitter.

You're assuming that these 'insiders' could actually hear *any* kind
of difference, as opposed to assuming that 'more is better' in
typical ragazine reviewer style. How do you know that they had 'good
and trained ears'? Are these the same people who told you that you
needed $1,000 a foot speaker cables?
