Antoine - I think it is very interesting to read that you have partnered a Mutec MC-3 together with what is already an impressive digital source, with a fully optimised PC, Windows server, JCat USB interface, and so on. This I think provides a fairly stern test of what the Mutec can achieve, if it can grant audible improvements on top of what is already a top quality source, then this would be very impressive indeed.
What you are doing is fairly similar to that posted by "Gentleman" (Jan) last year, who is running a trick multi-box (multi-power supply) audio optimised PC via Mutec to a Devialet. Now he's a lovely chap Jan, I had the pleasure of meeting him at a dealer event last year and he was very interesting to talk to. However, he was very evangelistic regarding the Mutec, and to be honest I was never quite sure if he was recommending it or trying to sell me one!
So I for one will be fascinated to hear if you get any sound quality improvements with the Mutec in the chain. (I'm sure a few other will too) Take your time evaluating, but keep us posted!
