I think this makes the Intona redundant from what I've read. Did you notice any improvement in SQ after a run in period?
It is very hard for me to say if I noticed any improvement in SQ after a run in period. The problem I have is that I received the Mutec, set it up and used it one weekend, then during the following week I received the V1.10 firmware update. It was used for a couple of weeks in a kind of 'background listening' mode. Then when I finally had some time to listen carefully I was absolutely staggered by how good it was! So it could be that it did indeed improve a touch when it had 'settled down', or it could just be the improvement from the firmware, I will never know! It sounds so good now that I suspect it may be a bit of both.
