I received the above in an email from Mutec, and I have to say that I was a little disappointed. To be honest, I am not quite sure what "Roon Tested" means for a reclocker. I mean, I feed mine from a CD player, it works, I feed it Toslink from a TV, it works, I feed it from a network end point, it works. Basically feed it any digital signal, it just works!
What I was hoping for was the announcement of some exciting new products in Mutec's "Empyreal" range. The REF10 remains the only Mutec Empyreal" class product, I am starting to feel sorry for it, it must be lonely. One thing I had been hoping for was a Empyreal class equivalent of the MC3+USB, there were some rumors. However, there were some posts on CA/AS last year from Mutec's Julian David, which made it pretty clear that no such product was planned.
Maybe there will be some interesting news emerging from Munich? I will be interested to hear from anyone who does visit the Mutec booth at Munich. Meanwhile, I will just have to console myself by listening to the utterly superb sounds from my existing Mutec kit, without being tempted to spend yet more cash.
