@thumb5 the way I understand this is that the USB in the Mutec (using a XMOS chipset) is internally converted to a signal (I guess SPDIF) that is re-clocked before it is sent to the outputs. If the signal is sent back to a PC via USB the PC is again clock master and the rate is adjusted. The re-clocking can be disabled and the MC-3 is then a pure format converter. The digital stream is obviously clocked in this mode too, but the re-clocking is an additional function in the MC-3.
