How It Works

The JitterBug FMJ uses a sophisticated parallel noise-dissipation circuit to reduce both data line and power line noise. RF noise generated by computers and other devices can contaminate USB signals, degrading audio quality. The JitterBug's dual-function design actively filters this noise, resulting in improved clarity, better dynamics, and a lower noise floor.

Applications

• USB DACs and digital-to-analog converters
• Computer audio systems and media players
• USB audio interfaces and recording equipment
• Powered USB speakers and headphone amplifiers
• Any USB-connected audio device

Usage Recommendations

For optimal results, plug the JitterBug into an available USB port on your computer or USB hub. When used with a USB DAC, insert the JitterBug into a separate USB port (not in series with the DAC cable). Multiple JitterBugs can be used simultaneously for enhanced noise reduction - try one in the DAC's USB port and another in a nearby port for maximum benefit.
