Mutec MC-3+ USB

[SwissBear]

Hi SwissBear

can I ask how you modified your Mutec? I am planning to remove the internal switching power supply of my Mutec and use an external linear PS instead.

Hi ogs,

You will find some pictures of the transformation, without removing the SPSU board here: http://www.tirnahifi.org/forum/viewtopic...653#p76424

You will note that accessing the two feet of the SPSU board in order to solder in not very easy.

Another option is to remove the SPSU board. Here is a complete explanation of the operations to achieve this, including a trick to remove the female Neutrik AES/EBU plug which is not trivial: https://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?...5#pid44995 .


Please not that is is obviously voiding your warranty and should be made under your sole responsibility.

Please also note that Paul Hynes LPSU not only are linear power supplies, but they also present some high end characteristics, like a very well regulated power output, a very low output impedance and very minimal current leaks. Before engaging into this venture, and in order not to be disappointed by the results, you might want to find an appropriate LPSU. Uli (modmix on the US forum) expressed that he had been disappointed (https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forum...ent=486873).
