Oh my, wow, this is good! Since applying the direct ethernet connection tweak as shared by Romaz clarity increased hugeley but with it came a slight downside: a bit of thinness in upper bass, lower mids and some brightness crept back in. Though I did not like that, the positives far outweighed these negatives. These negatives however are now gone, sureley didn't expect this to happen.
The sMS-200 was being powered by the high current output which has slightly higher output impedance. No idea if it's because of the increased voltage into the sMS-200 (which through USB also feeds the USB circuitry of the Mutec), the sMS-200 being back at the best output of my SR7 (according to Paul Hynes), everything on the SR7 being power cycled and disconnected for a short while or the FMC being powered again at 9V (specified by manufacturer) instead of 7V. It doesn't matter since the thinness/brightness is now gone and I'm enjoying a much more natural presentation. Great stuff, very happy!!
