In fact, what has happened in that case is lots of time spent trying
to find a *differnt* measurement to validate the supposed difference (with
'jitter' usually named, but AFAIK never proved to be, the culprit).
Yes, this is one of the few cases where you can measure no difference,
but that's between 2 CD's and probably not what audiophiles were
thinking of measuring. And there is speculation that bit-identical CD's
may still sound different due to jitter.
If there is one transport that produces high jitter and one that produces
low jitter - they will sound different. But it is measurable.
No, I was talking about the same CD player/transport/DAC.
If I understand correclty, the hypothesis inherent CD jitter (versus
playback path jitter), is that two bit-identical CDs can be different
because one was manufactured with more jitter than the other.
If so, one thing I'm not clear on is, why doesn't such jitter show up in
comparison of the 'bits'?
