A cheaper alternative to the Mutec MC3+USB is the Singxer SU-1, see thread linked below:

Coincidentally, I was PM'ing another member re Mutec products this morning. One thing I am speculating about is Mutec's 'Empyreal' class products. So far there is only one Mutec Empyreal product, the REF10. It does seam odd to have a reference clock in the 'Empyreal class' but nothing in the Empyreal class that it can actually connect to. So I suspect that there will be an Empyreal class MC3 before too long, something a little more domestic audiophile orientated, with a Linear PSU etc. This is pure speculation on my part, but it does seem odd that Mutec have an Empyreal class section on their website with only the REF10 in that class.
If my wild speculation about a new super Mutec MC3 proves to be correct, we might see a few bargain second hand MC3's on the market.
