Ozzy et al - had the Jitterbug a couple of nights now...maybe 16 hrs or so on it. Have to say, so far, I'm not hearing any improvement with it. Set up is exactly as described in my 8/15 post above. Will give it some more time before deciding whether or not to return it to Music Direct - but out of the box, "nada". I should comment that I don't leave it plugged into the MBA 24/7. I put it in when I'm going to listen to music with headphones. Headphone listening can go 2-3 hours. Glad for all for whom it works.
Jitterbugs from Audioquest and the Regen
I just received 4 of the Audioquest Jitterbugs.
I placed one Jitterbug in a usb that is between the Bryston BDP-2 and the usb cable that is going to my external powered USB 10 hub. This powered hub has (2)-1 TB External Hard drives plugged into it.
I then placed another Jitterbug from the Bryston usb that is going to the Regen. The Regen then plugs into my PS Audio Direct Stream Dac. Hmmn, very nice improvement.
I tried using 2 more Jitterbugs on my 2 external hard drives that are plugged into the external powered USB, but, the sound became rather harsh and thin.
So, I just tried plugging the extra 2 jitterbugs into open spaces in the USB 10 powered hub and there was perhaps a slight improvement.
Placing the Jitterbugs on open usb's on my UHD Led definitely improved the picture quality, even though I am only using the HDMI inputs?
The Audioquest Jitterbugs are still too new for me to settle in a absolute placement so I will experiment further.
