Why do we care about jitter?

Lessloss boast their DAC reduces jitter to 60ps.

Stereophile report a Benchmark at around 140 and a host of DAC's up to $50,000 worth being excellent at jitter rejection having measured 140 to 150.

They also report many other CDP's and DACS measuring up to 350 being good.

Like statistics, I suppose there is testing and there's testing and no 2 testers will get the same results.

But I have never seen anywhere in their reports that says jitter at a certain level is audible and in what way this audibility manifests.

If jitter is audible at some level, what are it's hallmarks ?
