Owner's Manual

 The USB 3.0 standard includes SuperSpeed transfer mode, which permits data rates

of up to 5Gbit/s—more than 10 times the speed of the previous USB 2.0 standard—

oering an obvious advantage for those who are transferring large amounts of data.

However, in terms of audio performance, there is no practical application for USB 3.0.

In fact, hard drives and other devices running at the USB 3.0 specication are terribly

noisy and only further pollute the bus.

When used with USB 3.0 devices, JitterBug purposely decelerates the device to USB 2.0

specications. 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 specication,

making it ideal for audio playback.

When transferring large amounts of data, we suggest that you remove JitterBug

from your device. Simply reinstall JitterBug prior to your next listening session.

For Use 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 les 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.
