to me the diference is like night & day.
when i purchased Emu 1820m becouse it had the same chips as Digi192io
i thought it was damaged.
did some loop tests with RMAA Rightmark, and was ok.
i coudnt understand why sounded so strange "bad."
many hours thinking, making test, until i decided to use my old Alesis Ai-2.
and sudently i felt like a sunny day in my heart, had one of those enlighting moments.
cables and clean ac power is another story.

jitter creates sampling errors, harmonic cancelations, narrows the stereo image, also record & playback at wrong pitch.
harmonic cancelation makes less louder sound, lifeless sound. depending on the clock used and the songs used for listening.
better clock makes the same 101010 to sound truer/closer to the source.
when you hear diferent clocks with big horn loaded far field speakers, with nice amplifiers, "concert / club / cinema speakers"
jitter sounds BIG, jitter makes the same 10101 to sound deformed, collapsed.
like standing in front of a deformed mirror.
