Has anyone used an Audioquest Jitterbug?


I just bought two Jitterbugs and put the on my Naim UnitiServe. The improvement in detail and bass control seems significant. When I remove them the sound seems softer and less well defined.
The system already has a lot of "noise control" including a Hydra 8, shielded RCA's(Siltech/Transparent)and Shunyata power cords.
If you have experience with the Jitterbugs I'd like to hear about it. Is there any downside?

I just added a REGEN and two Jitterbugs, one each in the powered and unpowered USB outputs from my Antipodes DX. From the Jitterbug in the unpowered output, I run a Totaldac USB cable, then an ifi purifier/filter, then the Uptone Audio REGEN, then Uptone's short solid connector into my Metrum Pavane DAC. I do not run a cable from the DX's powered USB output, just the Jitterbug.

The REGEN made things sound more natural and relaxed, with maybe a touch of additional tonal density. I noticed less improvement when adding the Jitterbugs but haven't performed A-B comparisons between them and the REGEN. Everything together sounds as good as I have heard from my digital set-up.
