Mutec MC-3+

Unfortunately I can't borrow/try one. It would be nice to do because I don't know if it will bring some improvement. I was hoping someone has experience with the gear I mentioned.

 

Also wandering what the difference is between the Mutec and for instance a Singxer reclocker??

I own and love my Mutec MC3+USB, but I do use mine with the Mutec REF10 external clock.

It strikes me that the MC3+USB is quite an old design now. (I bought mine in 2016, and I think it was originally released in 2014) It would not surprise me if a replacement came to the market some time in the next year or so, it seems to me that it is due an update.

I think it is fair to say that newer products from rival manufacturers are now available, and some of these appear to have a higher performance, at least from a pure measurement perspective.

There is some interesting reading and measurements regarding re-clockers / DCCs on the GoldenSound website.:

@Confused: Thx, I saw the Goldensoundreview. He is more enthousiastic about the Singxer than the Mutec and indeed the Mutec MC3+ design could have an update by now (like the MC3+ USB is an upgrade above the standard MC3+, using a better clock).

For what it's worth, I use a MC3 with a Auralic Aries, it was definitely an improvement. I use MC3 in our speaker setup, and in my head-fi setup (in my head-fi setup is also a REF10 nano). Improvements was significant (aas always: my gear, my ears, YMMV). 

So you're using the NON-USB version with the first Aries (NON-femto version)?

Thx for your reaction.

No, the usb-version (mc3+ usb). I started with Aries G1 (now using G2).
