Well I must admit to being one of those lucky people who had no problems running AIR in it's Devialet guise (i.e. Pre Roon/AIR integration) especially after version 3.0.4. I must also admit that I have had my finger poised over the "purchase" button on both mR and MUTEC but have resisted the temptation .
Following the release of Roon/AIR integration I used that for awhile, again with no problems - in fact I did perceive some sonic improvements (maybe expectation bias, but hey!). When Roon released ROCK I bit the bullet and "forked out" out on an Intel NUC and installed ROCK, and use this as my Roon Core running with Roon/AIR. Anyway I have no problems with sound quality, so have not been further tempted to go for a mR or MUTEC. I am not saying that either would, or would not, bring further sonic benefits, but I personally do not now see the need to purchase more boxes (and cables) for my system - if someone is happy to bring me a mR & MUTEC to try, I would give it a go .
