Can you define what you meant by "badly"? I can see that if the jitter is
large enough then you will get problems recovering the actual stream of
values. But I can't say I have encountered this with domestic audio kit
I've used unless the disc or equipment are faulty. No doubt, though,
someone will have made kit bad enough for this to be a problem... :-)


I've no experience in this respect with domestic kit, or with CD as source,
so I will accept the consensus here that with CD this isn't a problem. My
experience is with rotating-head tape transports and with long (many km)
transmission lines running at bit rates of several hundred Mb/sec. (Yes
transmission lines can cause jitter, as well as often having a very poor
eye.)
