Description
AudioQuest JitterBug reduces contamination from radio frequency (RF) generated by a computer, car, or other device—JitterBug also thoroughly addresses environmental RF noise taking advantage of this vulnerable interface. Employ one JitterBug in series between any computer, smartphone, NAS, streamer, or car audio system and a USB input. Noise reduction and noise dissipation is AudioQuest. One can’t hear our modern world’s pervasive RF noise itself, but the compromises it causes robs us of detail and contrast, and outright buries so much subtlety. Fight back with JitterBug.

USB Data & Power Noise Filter: The Audioquest JitterBug is designed to remove unwanted noise currents and parasitic resonances from both the data (communication) and Vbus (power) lines of USB ports. JitterBug meets all USB 2.0 speed specifications. JitterBug’s excellent performance is the result of careful design and craftsmanship, comprehensive technical measurements, and thorough listening tests. As a result the JitterBug improves dynamic contrast, warmth and resolution of your audio.
Dual Discrete Noise-Dissipation Circuits: JitterBug’s dual-circuitry works on both the data (communication) and vbus (power) lines of USB ports. The latter reduces noise and prevents EMI and RFI from contaminating the associated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and/or cable. The former minimizes parasitic resonances created by the computer and USB bus, and is optimized to remove noise above the USB 2.0 frequency specification, making it ideal for audio playback.
Note: When used with USB 3.0 devices, the JitterBug purposely decelerates the device to USB 2.0 specifications.
Jitter Reduction: The JitterBug also measurably reduces jitter and packet errors (in some cases, packet errors are completely eliminated). The result is a clearer and more compelling sound and overall better audio experience.
USB 2.0 Connectors: The JitterBug features a female USB 2.0 (type-A) port on one end and a male USB 2.0 (type-A) connector on the other end.
Applications: JitterBug is extremely easy to use and will offer reliable results for many years to come. It can be used with external USB digital-to-analog converters (DACs), mobile phones and portable media devices, and network streaming/storage devices. Use the Audioquest JitterBug in the following applications.
- Use one JitterBug in line with any computer and USB DAC (digital-to-analog converter).
- Use an additional JitterBug in parallel with the first for improved playback performance.
- Use JitterBug with other locally connected USB devices; such as hard drives, printers, and cameras, to effectively reduce audio interference.
- Use JitterBug with USB-enabled network devices, such as routers, NAS devices, and streamers.
- Use JitterBug with mobile devices into audio systems in the home and in the car.
Note: The JitterBug draws no power from the source. It will not inhibit your mobile device’s ability to charge its battery
