Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: Pace, Rhythm and Timing

" it's clear that it happens and it's clear that people can hear [pace and/or rhythm] effects from jitter"

I don't think this is clear at all. Tempo variations are measured in time units several orders of magnitude larger than any reasonable jitter can produce. There is no possible explanation in that regard that I can think of, other than jitter distortion affecting involvement with the music. Toe tapping is not an automatic reflex resulting from tempo. It is a sign of the listener's psychological involvement with the music. That is why it varies from person to person, as well as with the listener's predisposition at that precise moment.
