OK, those of you that know me know that I hate evaluating equipment but I had bought the Mutec based on theoretical considerations and had problems at first.
Yesterday I did some comparisons.
Firstly the unreliability was not a problem. It only lost lock once, and whilst it did not show up as a USB choice on my music iMac when plugged in a restart made it show up.
I preferred the USB > Mutec > AES/EBU to USB alone, using the same USB cable.
I preferred Air3 Beta via Ethernet to USB > Mutec > AES/EBU
