When some say that the CD transport is one of the most important components in an audio system chain, I used to think it was a myth. I used to wonder how a digital data output from two different CD players/transports can vary when playing a same CD. Later, I used to hear the word "jitter", but I didn't understand what it is all about it and I don't know if that was my ignorance on my part. Then, I came to read this article which gives a very simple and basic understanding about what jitter is. Though I am a noob, the article was easy to follow.
