Digital audio is often thought to be immune to the many plagues of analog recording and transmission: distortion, line noise, tape hiss, flutter, crosstalk; and if not immune, digital audio is certainly highly resistant to most of these maladies. But when practicalities such as oscillator instability, cable losses or noise pickup do intrude, they often affect the digital signal in the time domain as jitter.
