Yes, I bet we hear slightly differently.
As for jitter, I can hear it in somewhat imprecise positioning and size. The amps don't suffer as much from the jitter as DACs, maybe because they constantly vary the operating frequency. The one-bit DACs are the most sensitive to jitter, which affects a partial sample.
It will be complicated to measure jitter directly when the operating frequency varies all the time at an unknown rate...
Perhaps it can be related to the variation in harmonic distortion on a fixed tone. Maybe we have to ask the source!

"As for jitter, I can hear it in somewhat imprecise positioning and size"thanks for further clarification on the subject, the digital amplifier I own definitely does not suffer for this artifact rather one of its stand out qualities precise positioning and image size, it rendition of chimes and such like is very good, tonally accurate and precise positioning within soundstage. just my observations.
