Excuse my total lack of knowledge on the subject.
I know it sound crazy. The reason I thought of it was the 30-40 sec. anti-shock buffering they do. Doesn't that eliminate jitter? As far as the analogue section, no idea, and the actual transport probably bad too. Any way, No mater how crazy the idea it'll be interesting to elaborate on it. Again the 30 sec. buffering got my attention. If that offers any advantages, can it be implemented in a normal CD transports?
Thanks
Greg

Thanks a lot.
ALL cd players buffer the data from the disc, jitter isn't caused by variations in disc speed.
Yes, but the anti-skip in portable units is what enables the compression and higher jitter. The motor "kicking in" is also a cause of noise (jitter) in the digital output.
