Mutec MC-3+ USB

[Antoine]

Has anyone had a chance comparing the Mutec against with SoTM tX-USBultra?

The Mutec is primarily used as a high quality DDC (digital to digital converter) to convert USB in to AES/EBU or S/PDIF out by users of this forum. Some also use it to re-clock other digital inputs like Toslink or S/PDIF.

The tx-USBultra is USB in and out so it doesn't 'compare well' functionally to the Mutec. It's meant to "regenerate" the incoming USB signal and thus output a higher integrity USB signal like the original and first in its class Uptone Audio Regen device.

If you meant whether if it (the SoTm) outperforms the Mutec with a device connecting to it when directly connected to the USB input of the Devialet, who knows? It's just been released, it'll be an interesting comparison. Same for using the SoTM (or the new ISO Regen or iFi iGalvanic 3.0) in front of the Mutec.
