Personally I find it much easier to see how jitter can be a problem with AES/EBU than with USB. I took your comment to mean that the paper discussed jitter specifically in the context of USB.Sorry about the lack of clarity of my expression :-)
- a huge problem of transmission of HF interference, created by the various components of the PC/Mac, together with the audio information ; this requires a heavy cleaning, often called galvanic isolation, and also probably some filtering.
- a serious problem of short term inconsistency of the clock of the computer which is used to produce the USB signal. Therefore, most solutions to solve this second issue either consist in reclocking as does the Mutec Antoine has purchased, or in plugging the audio data onto a clean signal, as does Acousence, a competitor of Mutec.
Does it make more sense as far as USB is concerned ?
