Sonic Frontiers Ultrajitterbug

Placed in between my Theta Data III and Gen Va DAC, the Ultrajitterbug degraded the sound markedly.

I tried using one a few years ago between my Esoteric transport and Proceed DAC. Cables were Illuminati D-60. Turns out that the UJB degraded the sound. I sold it!

Jeez,those Kiwi guys!! Just kiddin'. The piece you're talking about is dated. The Gen Dig Lense is a bit better, but also dated.If you can get a dig lense, cheap enough, say 450.- it will work between your Theta 3 & gen5 well/ Or whatever you got. Spend more/it gets better. Been there done that.

.....and now for something completely different. I own a Proceed PDT3/PDP3 combo. I don't have a lot of experience with seperates, but heard that a jitter reduction device was a plus. I found a SF UJB for $125 used, so I figured, what the hell? I actually liked what it did. I thought it increased extension and detail, especially in the bass region. I also thought the overall sound was 'smoother'. My question to you other gentlemen repliers is: What in/outs did you use? I've only used balanced in's/out's. I don't know if this might explain the difference or not. I'm using it now, happily I might add, as you can tell by my equipment, I can't afford to keep up with the latest technology. I tend to be more a fan of classic equipment. I'll be interested to see the replies, could be a synergestic thingamabob.

I agree with Avguygeorge. The Genesis is way better, and it improved the Theta combination by a large amount. I don't doubt your experience Jmcgrogan. I am sure the UJB works in some circumstances. I cannot remember what ins/outs I tried, but I probably tried at least the RCA and XLRs.

Thank you all. I think I'll stand pat, for at least another week.

Change that name to Wisehead.
