Not nonsense; basic sampling theory. Jitter in the clock signal - either at recording or replay stage - is directly visible (though not necessarily audible) as noise in the output audio. Gaps in the bitstream show up as bloody great splats on the audio... but surely no-one designs an ADC without a large buffer and a synchronising local clock, do they?
