Manual

¡ While JitterBug is designed to work with Low, Full, and High-Speed USB, it’s
optimized for audio devices, which are built to work at Full and High-Speed. Most of
today’s computers have USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ports, which have two interfaces built
in—a Low, Full, and High-Speed set of pins, as well as four more pins that make up
the SuperSpeed portion of USB 3.0. Therefore, the JitterBug can be inserted into any
available USB port, including USB 3.0 ports of an audio device and USB ports of any
device that works at Low, Full, and High-Speed USB.
However, when partnering JitterBug with hard drives that use the USB 3.0 interface,
performance will be decelerated to High-Speed USB. If you are using this type of
hard drive to store your music library, then it would be best to forgo the JitterBug
altogether so that the hard drive takes full advantage of the USB 3.0 speed.
USB-C is a new connector format that includes up to two USB 3.0 ports and a Low,
Full, and High-Speed USB port. Additionally, it includes power and alternates for the
USB 3.0 interface, such as video and Thunderbolt. If you use a USB-C DragonTail, the
JitterBug can plug into it and then into your USB DAC for optimal performance.
Using with Mobile Phones and Media Devices
1. Many receivers, DACs, and automobiles include USB input ports that are compatible
with iOS and Android-based devices. When mobile devices are connected to these
inputs, users can play music from streaming services or from the mobile device’s
internal memory.
While this is extremely convenient, mobile phones and other portable media
devices have the potential to create very noisy electrical environments. To improve
the playback performance of your mobile phone or portable media device, rst plug
a JitterBug into the associated USB input port.
2. A USB memory stick can also function as a
portable media device. If you play files from
a USB memory stick, we recommend that you
plug a JitterBug in between the memory stick
and the associated USB input port.
¡ JitterBug draws no power from the source. It
will not inhibit the mobile device’s ability to
charge its battery.
