This requires a sampling rate of 192 kHz…according to this new information 96 kHz/24-bits is not sufficient."
Jitter is another marketing hoax, like 24-bit. By that I mean that it is a theoretical problem only, and not audible in normal setups.
A double blind test showed that jitter was not audible until it exceeded 250 nanoseconds (which is 2000 times higher than the 130 ps jitter on a random DAC I selected, the 6-year-old $450 Cambridge Audio DAC Magic - nothing special at all by today's standards).

So I hope we can bury this myth as well.
All I can say is shame on the audio industry for this incessant false marketing, rather than actually doing something to improve the recordings, where it matters!
