Welcome
I called this side The Well Tempered Computer because I like both classical music and computers. Combine these two and your are listening to music using your computer as an audio source.
This site is primarily about computer audio.
I try to talk facts but anybody familiar with human perception knows that perception is a fact to.
Feel free to comment.
I think enthusiasts discussing jitter and it's likely impact on what they hear is a bit like car enthusiasts discussing rocker arm performance in race cars. Both are a tiny part of a jigsaw that gives us the result as music.

If an ABX test shows a statistically significant difference then you can reasonably conclude that there is a difference. Unfortunately, a likely outcome will be that the test will not show a statistically significant difference. In that event it would be improper to conclude that there is no difference. You will be back where you started.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
