I have asked myself the same question. There is much talk on Computer Audiophile to suggest that good clocking throughout the audio chain does indeed provide benefits, however, I am not aware of anyone who has actually tried the SMS-200 Ultra with a Mutec yet. My plan was to sit back and wait a few weeks, or two or three months even, and see what user reports emerge. One question I can answer is that the microRendu 'is enough', and as most reports say the SMS-200 is better, then that should be 'enough' too. Although I understand that the real question is will the Ultra provide enough of an improvement to justify it's price? I think it is too early to answer that one. I could speculate that the answer is yes, but that would just be an educated guess, I would rather see a good consensus of user reports before spending any cash.
