If you use CAN to communicate with the Jag, then you can plug the encoder directly in to the Jag and access the Jag's built-in PID (built-in to the Jag's firmware) to control speed. There are several threads on CD discussing the pros and cons of doing this.

I don't know what kind of noise filtering, if any, the Jag does on the encoder signal.

Others on this forum have studied the Jag firmware source code (freely available) and may be able to answer.
