In the FMJ version &#8211; with a metal rather than plastic housing, unlike the previous version of the\u00a0JitterBug\u00a0&#8211; the model received additional shielding of the built-in discrete noise suppression circuits.\u00a0This solution should reduce RF noise and resonances that affect the quality of digital electronics signals.<\/p>\n<p>According to AudioQuest, the JitterBug FMJ will provide audio systems with &#8220;more spacious and engaging sound.&#8221;\u00a0The developers also paid attention to decreasing jitter and improving the accuracy of data transmission.\u00a0In addition to the shielding metal case, the JitterBug FMJ USB output port has a protective hatch made of special rubber &#8211; also with shielding properties.<\/p>\n<p>AudioQuest emphasized that daisy-chaining the Jitterbug FMJ is very useful to complement the parallel connection.\u00a0This refers to the docking of the Jitterbug FMJ with a closed USB dongle to an available port.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"big\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5396edf1fbf30fb8fd60ce7f863ef441.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The novelty is able to improve the sound of the proprietary mini-DACs\u00a0DragonFly Black\u00a0and Red.\u00a0Interestingly, the\u00a0DragonFly Cobalt\u00a0model\u00a0already uses the Jitterbug technology &#8211; that is, the Jitterbug FMJ can be used in parallel with it.<\/p>\n<p>As in the previous model, the FMJ filter supports USB 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>The AudioQuest Jitterbug FMJ is slated to hit the US market in early May for $ 60.<\/p>\n<!-- FeedbackWP Plugin --><div        class=\"rmp-widgets-container rmp-wp-plugin rmp-main-container js-rmp-widgets-container js-rmp-widgets-container--129884 \"        data-post-id=\"129884\">        <!-- Rating widget -->    <div class=\"rmp-rating-widget js-rmp-rating-widget\" role=\"group\" aria-labelledby=\"rmp-title-129884\">                    <p class=\"rmp-heading rmp-heading--title\" id=\"rmp-title-129884\">                Rate this product            <\/p>                        <div class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons\">            <ul class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list js-rmp-rating-icons-list\" role=\"radiogroup\" aria-label=\"Rating from 1 to 5\">                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Not at all useful\"                            data-value=\"1\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"1 out of 5: Not at all useful\"                            tabindex=\"0\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Somewhat useful\"                            data-value=\"2\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"2 out of 5: Somewhat useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Useful\"                            data-value=\"3\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"3 out of 5: Useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Fairly useful\"                            data-value=\"4\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"4 out of 5: Fairly useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                                                        <li                            class=\"rmp-rating-widget__icons-list__icon js-rmp-rating-item\"                            data-descriptive-rating=\"Very useful\"                            data-value=\"5\"                            role=\"radio\"                            aria-checked=\"false\"                            aria-label=\"5 out of 5: Very useful\"                            tabindex=\"-1\"                    >                        <i class=\"js-rmp-rating-icon rmp-icon rmp-icon--ratings rmp-icon--star \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>                    <\/li>                            <\/ul>        <\/div>        <p class=\"rmp-rating-widget__hover-text js-rmp-hover-text\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>                <button class=\"rmp-rating-widget__submit-btn rmp-btn js-submit-rating-btn\">            Submit Rating        <\/button>        <div aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\">            <p class=\"rmp-rating-widget__results js-rmp-results rmp-rating-widget__results--hidden\">                Average rating <span class=\"rmp-rating-widget__results__rating js-rmp-avg-rating\">0<\/span> \/ 5.
