Downside of the Mutec is that it of course needs it's own power cable and "digital" interconnect. Thus far I've used the supplied power cable but I'd like that to be shielded one especially since there's a SMPS inside the Mutec. (Yes, I know there's one inside the Devialet as well. )
The digital interconnect I'm using is the Sommer Binary AES/EBU cable the dealer gave me for free with the Mutec.
Today I have ordered a LH Labs D-110 AES/EBU cable to experiment with. It seems to be a very affordable but great all-rounder and although I would love to have a Transparant Reference XL or a MIT Oracle MA-X I'm not prepared to pay anywhere near the asking price of those cables. The DH Labs will become either a stayer or a start in a quest for a perhaps even better one, like a Kimber Orchid, Oyaide AR-910 etc. I have to do more 'research' and/or listening tests.
Also ordered two additional affordable, no-nonsense Belden 19364 based power cables and an affordable shielded power distributor with the same Belden power cable to replace the plastic Ikea one I've plugged into the PS Audio P3 now (I needed an extra outlet for the Mutec but unfortunately had none left).
