Being an audiophile, and not a mystic/believer/vodooist, just register
today after some time reading you all because I felt like sharing with
you all what I just saw this morning on Audiostream.

The blog's entry:

49 bucks buys you some of the soundest improvements I've heard for
anywhere near the price.
What is the Jitterbug? According to AudioQuest, Jitterbug is a
dual-function USB line conditioner. While the company points to two
distinct areas of improvement, VBUS and line conditioning for data, as
well as improvements in S/N ratio and a reduction in jitter and
parasitic resonances, I'd say just plug the damn thing in and try it out
for yourself. What you'll hear, if you hear what I heard, is greater
clarity, dimensionality, and generally a more natural sound.

As you can see from the photo I was listening to a naked prototype,
inserted between an AudioQuest Dragonfly DAC and a MacBook Pro, but you
can expect fully clothed production units to hit the streets this
Spring. You'll also have noticed there are two Jitterbugs in play which
added to the perceived improvements. According to AudioQuest, sonic
benefits can be gained by plugging a Jitterbug into most any unused USB
port that's connected to your hi-fi, even those pesky stray ports that
reside on your NAS. Fascinating.

Calm down and just comment peacefully...

In the Case of the Dragonfly wonder what's really going on that DAC a is
actually driven from the 5v at the USB port ?
Or with other DAC's driven from the USB be port ?

In a general case a normal DAC a would only be feed by the USB signal .
What gives then ? I tend to think application specific some things works
in some cases and do nothing in other cases .

And do we actually have any evidence that this wonderful thing makes any
audible difference?
