This is a new device I bought and installed into my USB chain. It's quite similar to Uptone Regen but with a different implementation where it is recommended to be installed at source; ie. close to USB output.
From my initial impression, music sounded more detailed and darker. Vocals are much clearer. Improved on the soundstage, too. I will listen more for awhile and will remove it and see if I miss it.

The more I listen to my new gadget, I think it is similar in design with AQ Jitterbug. I have removed my iUSBpower from the chain and still sounded very good. Maybe, it is a copy of Jitterbug. In fact, it costs more than Jitterbug.
When Jitterbug is finally available, I will order them.

I bought the same USB booster as yours and found it performs really well. I will buy another for my 2nd system soon.

Hi elo, U wonder if it works like Jitterbug, ie. Having a pair into a system on two USB ports, will it improves better?

Hello hk6230. The designer does say even use it with usb mouse would improve the sound quality of the system. Seems it works like Jitterbug.

Exactly. When you use the second one, give it a try and let me know the outcome. This gadget really works.
