Audioquest Jitterbug

Interesting hrky, although I fully agree much is about personal preference. Also there's the system matching and at this level of tweaks even environment factors like power quality, noise interfernce from other equipment etc. In short there is no magic bullet and there's many roads that lead to rome.

Unfortunately I'm not much of a DIY person myself, at least not for electronics, making cables etc. so can't easily try your recommendations. I've read more often that a battery PSU isn't always the best solution, sometimes it's a high quality linear PSU. For the JCAT USB interface and SSD it is however a proven combination although of course also here people seem to have their personal preference. I'm eagerly awaiting the Regen PSU add-on that is claimed to be insensitive to the quality of the device feeding it. I might also try it on the JCAT card and SSD since these need 5V which this PSU can also output.
