I believe Jan had a prototype of the MC-3+ USB or maybe also it's predecessor the MC3+ (non-usb), not sure. I read a comment that someone believes the MC-3+USB is as good as cascading 3 MC-3+, but putting an MC-3+ behind MC-3+USB does improve things further. it's crazy (and of course subjective)! Mutec itself urges to put the new MC-3+ USB last in chain BTW. (http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f6-dac...post510875)
Yes it was the MC3+ and we connected it last in the chain after the totaldac reclocker.
There were definite improvements; Jan had us focussing on micro details (particularly around female vocals if I recall) and going backwards and forwards yes there were changes.
I may give the new Mutec another go at some point.
