Per the link, have a quick read and then try the various samples provided. Absolutely fascinating I have to say! For me the later music clips were far more interesting and enlightening than the 1kHz sine waves at the beginning. Well worth a few minutes of your time I would say.

I also found this, not as interesting as the stuff per the link above, but it does feature a chap with a spectacular grey beard and an oscilloscope, which is very hard for me to resist to be honest.

I found that very revealing as well. I spotted some of the jitter, which on some tracks sounded like timing issues, and on others, sounded like distortion in the higher frequencies. I was only listening to an iPad Air through a set of Musical Fidelity IEMs, so not ideal. Perhaps it would have helped to listen on a more revealing source, but I still got the gist of what it was all about.
Loved the guy with the beard. Had a touch of the Denzil Dexters about him!?
