It is the bit depth that and sample rate together that

.35 nsec jitter is finer than the ear can detect.


This is very counter-intuitive. The extreme case of
infinite word length with no sample timing uncertainty
and no signal level modulation of sample point would
have, by implication, infinite bandwidth.

Wouldn't the reconstruction filtering process invalidate
this? Or is the answer over my head? Pretty likely.
