I am quite familiar and in fact that paper concludes that jitter is not detectable in normal consumer equipment: "About 25% of the listeners detected jitter when its size was 500ns. When it was 250ns, however, no listener could discriminate the sounds." ... "Nishimura and Koizumi made attempts to measure actual jitter of various DA systems during reproduction of music signals. They could not detect any jitter larger than 3ns in their measurements." ... "So far, actual jitter in consumer products seems to be too small to be detected at least for reproduction of music signals" ... CONCLUSION "The threshold values seem to be sufficiently larger than the jitter actually observed in various consumer products."
