Hello.
I want to buy Rigol's DS1054z, but in the internet I can found a few of versions of board of that oscilloscope:
0.1.1
0.1.4
0.2.1
0.2.3 (is probably latest - see attachemnt please)
Anyone know what differences they have?

If your question is: "Are the early onesto be avoided?" the answer is "no".
I'm not aware that any revisions have affected functionality. It's probably more a production/cost thing.
It's not something to worry about.
PS: All of them are secretly 1104Z models. You can unlock them to full bandwidth by pressing the right sequence of buttons.
I am worrying about this because I want to know if I get the newest, which has the best probability of the lowest jitter in the 16MHz / 1GHz clock converter, doesn't it?

Jitter isn't a problem since about three years ago. Even when it was, a firmware update will fix it.
I saw Daves review of the fix, and it wasn't a particularly good one.

The new waveform
looks ugly when probed with an oscilloscope but nobody has shown that it causes any problems.
(and several people here have tried)
