Do you think that the Mutec + USB would add/ improve my setup? Currently I am running with an Aurender N100H as source to USB!
Any thoughts?
Hi teddlesdee,
I have the same source as yours which is Aurender N100H and I am using Mutec + USB recently.
The improvement is significant. The sound is more organic and a layer of 'digital' haze is removed.
You do need a decent AES/EBU cable. And try experiment on the right footers for further improvement.
Hi Sharone,
I have a dilemma. I have an Aurender N100H. I like his warm sound, but lack of details and soundstage. Air 3 for Mac gives me the details and the soundstage but don't have a warm sound. Does the Mutec-3+ USB will give me the positive sides of Devialet and the Aurender? Does the Mutec gives a superior sound than Devialet Air 3 pre release candidate for Mac?
Hi Beajuju,
To be honest, i find the Aurender N100H sound a bit warm and on the syrupy side on its own.
This is something I realise after buying it. Nevertheless the conductor app interface is good and able to link with Tidal is a plus.
As for details, Mutec-3 + USB can enhance the details. Perhaps it is due to the AES/EBU usage which may be more superior input than USB for Deviate.
For soundstage, i find improvement when using Curious USB cable.
Note that this is based on my setup and listening preference and perspective.
For me, I prefer a neutral, natural sounding system. Mutec-3 + USB helps me achieve that which l believe is a limitation for USB based interface. Hope this helps.
