And BTW while the Mutec beats anything in my setup heard thus far, it is quite ruthless to lesser recordings, I could use a bit of smoothness back (like you described) of course preferably without delivering in on it's positives.
To perhaps steer it back a little I was actually looking at replacing the internal SMPS of the Mutec (which of course would void it's warrantee) and/or trying out a different AES/EBU cable.
This Acousense may be worth a try also. Based in Germany so no import duties etc. for me though I haven't looked into the cost of the hardware and fitting cables yet. I'll compare them to the costs of a Mutec with a good linear PSU and a good AES cable.
