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.

Ghosthouse, hear any differences with the JB yet? Interesting bugs, these little devices are.
Hey Jc. Thanks for asking. No, nothing yet. I continue to run it with the Dragonfly every evening listening to headphones. I'll go with it for a couple of weeks, then pull it out and see if I "miss" anything. Sometimes for me that's been the best way to hear if a component made an improvement. Maybe the MBA USB port is already pretty quiet? Would the fact it uses a flash drive and not spinning mechanical hard drive contribute to less USB port noise??
Beware of trying out the Schiit Wyrd. There 15 day money back guarantee resulted in a cost of almost 50% to return it. I only had it for 4 days. This is due to the cost of shipping both ways and there "restocking fee".
No wonder they picked that name.
Direct Stream DAC is a piece of shi* that produce degraded sound if there is any input jitter, even $100 AV receiver perform better than that $6000 DAC.
Wow! Coli, that's some response. The Direct Stream is the best performing Dac I have tried, especially with the latest Yale upgrade.

Why don't you list your system?
