You said it, not I.
Yes, these may have an effect by reducing the common mode RF output over the spdif interface. Not the same thing as jitter though.
In terms of CM RF, I agree yeah. But I stand by my previous remarks - if you really want low jitter you're pretty much wasting your time just by attacking it at the transport end. At the receiver is where it really counts.
Agreed, but it all adds up.

.......The second prevalent misconception about the CD is that if the ones and zeros are the same,
the sound must be identical. This tenet is widely held, especially among engineers and computer users.
A cornerstone of digital audio theory is that sound quality is independent of the recording or transmission medium.
The collective attitude among many engineers is succinctly expressed by the phrase "bits is bits." (footnote 4).
This adage expresses the idea that if the ones and zeros in a digital audio signal are identical,
no other digital-domain phenomenon (in a properly designed digital audio system) can influence sound quality.
This attitude explicitly rules out sonic differences between CD transports, optical vs coaxial cable,
CD Soundrings, CD Stoplight, isolation feet, Armor All (footnote 5),
and any other CD tweaks that incontrovertibly influence sound quality to sensitive listeners.
Those who subscribe to this theory tend to be scornful and contemptuous of anyone believing such differences exist.......
