The Audiophiles Guide
The Audiophile's Guide podcast is your invitation into the world of high-end audio, and connecting with me, Paul McGowan—a 50-year veteran in the art and science of sound and the co-founder and CEO of PS Audio. We do kind of a mind meld between me and our technologically connected hosts. Each episode is a fresh, no-nonsense exploration of how to bring music to life in your home, drawn from my decades of hands-on experience designing the gear that makes it happen.

Digital jitter and reclockers
Digital audio promises perfect sound—but timing is everything. Today we’re talking about jitter: the microscopic timing errors that blur imaging, flatten soundstage, and drain the life from music. Where does jitter come from? And more importantly, how do we fix it? Enter the reclocker. These unsung heroes of digital playback clean up jittered signals and restore clarity and focus. If you’ve never heard what a clean clock can do, this episode might surprise you.
