Mutec Ref-10

[zdenes]

Are you feeding the Mutec straight from a PC? I have SOtM sms-200 ultra and thinking of having it modified to accept the Ref10 clock (if I get one).
Are you planning to use any other clock output on the Ref10?

As far as the sMS-200 Ultra is concerned, I have difficulties understanding how an asynchronous flow (USB at the output of the sMS-200 Ultra) can be improved by a better clock (Ref-10), whereas it is easier for me to understand how an AES/EBU flow (between the Mutec MC-3+ USB and the Devialet), can be improved by a better clock (Ref-10), as AES/EBU does not only embark data, but the time signal as well.

Swissbear, I totally understand you not understanding why/how the SMS-200 ultra can be improved by re-clocking. Neither do I but there seems to be a general view that the ultra is better than the original and the main difference is the sCLK-ex clock added. In fact, I witnessed a conversation between Mr. Peters in Munich and Mr. Kim (maybe it's his first name) of SOtM in Munich where they were talking about adding a 10MHz input option into the ultra so that it can accommodate the Ref10. I guess the two of them have quite some knowledge between them, probably not just a marketing gimmick.
Let's hope somebody here or over on the CA forum will be able to test it.
