Mutec MC-3+ USB

[Antoine]

...The Mutec replaced the Intona...

Antoine, could you kindly describe the improvements brought about by the Mutec?

Was this due to use of the AES input (via Mutec) instead of USB (via Intona)?

My impressions are scattered a bit over this forum and changed some since I first used it but my most "condensed" post about the Mutec I guess is this one: http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?t...2#pid36032

I can't separate the improvements due to the use of AES and the Mutec itself since I've always used them together but I think the improvements are due to all of the things below.
- characteristics of the Mutec (so it's intrinsic qualities and functions like galvanic isolation, re-clocking etc.)
- use of the AES/EBU imput of the Devialet
- not using Devialet's USB input/not using a USB input inside/near the DAC.
