Hi all, I'm the person who linked to the manual that describes how to remove the push lever from the AES/EBU XLR connector of the MC-3+ USB. One of you linked to the topic where I shared it or copy-pasted the text I wrote. Anyway, just chiming in to say my MC-3+ USB works fine with the original...

Guys, the info you're sharing on Paul Hynes is a bit outdated (just like his websites! ;)) I've had the pleasure of dealing with him when I aquired an SR7EHD-MR4 (ehd= extra heavy duty mr4=multi rail, 4 rails) from him earlier this year. I've shared some information about his products and Paul...

Hi all, I hope this isn't against any forum rules, if it is of course the thread should be deleted. A fellow Devialet owner started a petition to try to get Devialet moving in fixing the issues in their ethernet/WiFi streaming module and software. If you're a Devialet owner or would like to...

  Please keep in mind that I'm from The Netherlands and so English isn't my native language. I don't know what 'the DB manner' is/means but I'm guessing it's not a positive thing. I always try to be the point and factual as much as I can but I guess in doing so I may come across as harsh/overly...

That is great news, thank you for discussing it with Focusrite as it must have helped them change their minds. It was a show stopper for me but if they make this change I'm likely to try a Rednet as well once it's implemented. :-)

You said you believed "Uptone included some of the Regen tech (for USB gremlins) in the microRendu"....ehhh OK. LOL, I'm no lawyer. If you wouldn't spread misinformation me and those other folks wouldn't need to correct anything. It seems to be part of your 'style' though, especially with those...

I've seen you write this before but the microRendu is a Sonore product not an Uptone Audio product. John Swenson has designed products for both companies. He receives royalties per device sold and IIRC also is IP (intellectual property) owner and that's why there's in effect an improved Regen...

Well of course the 'fully balanced design' is not applicable to the Rednet 3 since it's 100% digital, there's no A/D or D/A conversions performed in it. The only part of that article applicable is the part about clocking.

I feel a device like the Mutec MC-3+USB as a USB to S/PDIF or AES3 converter sometimes rather "helps" the DAC more than the source. But of course it can do both too. In this case a great source like the microRendu together with a Mutec makes a great combination and bypasses the DAC internal USB...

Thank you rb2013. This makes sense. I almost was afraid it would be some standard deviation but fortunately this is not the case.   I see you've looked into the MC-3+/MC-3+ USB differences some more, great! Just wrote about them to let you guys know they're not the same and so to avoid...

Hi guys,   I've seen that in the specs of many of the Rednet devices (like the D16 AES) but not all (like the Rednet 3) there's a line with the supported sample rates like:   Supported sample rates: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz (-4% / -0.1% / +0.1% / +4.167%) at 24 bit   I'm...

  Yes, I didn't make it up or just hypothesize about it. :-) That's why I linked to the topic in which all the details are shared by a Mutec associate (Julian David) who is actively participating in that topic as well. Besides this there are user reports confirming improved SQ.   There's many...

Both the MC-3+ and MC-3+ USB have this 1G clock tech.    All I'm saying: the MC-3+ USB could be significantly better than the MC-3+ even if you don't use the USB input.

  About the "Mutec 3+" you mention here (but elsewhere as well including your score lists), there's of course the Mutec MC-3+ and the Mutec MC-3+ USB which I believe you tested. The latter is not just a MC-3+ with an USB port. Functionally it is but it's a newer version which also had an...

  Thank you! :-)
