Surprising Result - AudioQuest JitterBug

[Dom]

Plugging one into an unused USB slot makes a subtle yet refreshing difference. It's a better balance. Instead of making things sound actually worse, it feels like a truer upgrade to the audio.

Anyone using one?

I've been meaning to try one myself at home, but just haven't got round to it yet. Will do soon.

Audio-t were giving them away free with all purchases over £399. There may be quite a few new ones going for sale on flea bay shortly.

Yeah, it seems that connecting anything to it, does too much to the sound. WHF said with an expensive enough DAC it does not work as well.

Anyway good luck.

If you're using a computer as source I can recommend a software program that uses the memory to play music files. Costs about 60 to 100. Also an asynchronous dac and transferring over usb can help. Would be interestjng to test if the jitterbug still makes a difference then. (My experience with asynchronous dacs is that they make other modifications irrelevant)

I find that the JitterBug does affect sound. Just like cables, it's a debate and people hear what they want.

I am curious, which memory player costs £60 to £100. I use JRiver which has play in memory function and is £35.

JPLay is the best £60 - £90 you can spend on an audio pc in my eyes.

Shortly followed by Fidelizer at about £50 and process lasso about £35.

Or Cad Scripts for free are outstanding if you can dedicate the computer

Thanks ellisdj for the info, always a pleasure.
