Perhaps it's time for the group to split into two:

Why? Because the guy asked how much jitter it takes to be audible, that
makes him a hater of high-end audio? Do "high-end lovers" think that
question is unimportant or irrelevant? Do you?
Audibility of jitter is a question that has been studied
before. That message had no interesting factual content; it
was just a diatribe apparently based on some preconceived
notion. Unless I've missed previous posts, that individual has
contributed nothing to this group other than telling some
enthusiasts they are wrong, wrong, wrong. All I have seen is
disdain (or hate) for this hobby, nothing that indicates any
love for or pleasure in it.
Personally, I love getting new gear and reading what knowledgable
folks have to say about sound and sound reproduction.
I don't love the torrent of nonsense I've got to wade
through to find high signal/noise discussion,
whenever 'high end hobbyists' tend to congregate.
That's right: high-end audio is a HOBBY. People do it for
FUN.
So do butterfly collectors. Yet they manage to adhere
to scientific notions about the object of their hobby,
with little if any objection.
So maybe it's love the hobby, hate the *hobbyists*?
