Ok folks, I get it. I'm getting roasted pretty hard here.
I didn't do my research. I've been out of hifi for a while and only recently got back into it and last time I hit hifi semi hard (well more mid-fi and chifi to be fair) these USB filters were all the rage. I must admit I bought the jitterbug out of nostalgia... I'm still going to try it. It'll be here in about six hours. Will report back. I have no equipment to measure other than my two ears.

Sorry for causing raised emotions.

dont worry about the "nonbelievers", i also heared differences with the ifi isilencer for the better, tho overall it seems that these filters are just a fix for a suboptimal transferformat (usb), many people like AES/SPDIF for that reason

imo you shouldnt believe any people on the ethernet (objectivists or subjectivists so to say), if you are curious make your own test :)

tho objectivists have a point, while there are things that make a difference (like cables and usb filters) the question is if its worth the premium and there is "good snake oil" and "crappy snake oil" out there
