8. sferring 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 specification 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 specifications 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 When transferring large amounts of data we suggest that you remove JitterBug from your device Simply reinstall JitterBug prior to your next listening session A USB memory stick can also function as a For Use with Mobile Phones and Media Devices Many receivers DACs and automobiles include USB input ports that are compatible with OS 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 perfo
