Hi all,This might be a bit off-topic, but I recently bought a "Mutec MC3+USB" reclocking device. It has other functionality, but I'm using it ahead of my Schiit Yggy DAC. My expectations weren't very high since the Yggy already performs anti-jitter processing.I was amazed at the improvement. I was getting really annoyed with an upper midrange hardness, glassiness, or glare depending on the recording and music. The Mutec completely cleaned that up. No downsides with better imaging, coherence, and low level information. The box lists for $1100. Mutec is also coming out with a new external 10 MHz rubidium atomic clock that can be plugged into the MC3. It was designed to feed the high quality clock signal to multiple devices in mastering studios, so it has many sets of outputs for a clock signal. However, that's going to run around $5k, so it would have to really transform the system to justify the price for just feeding a DAC.The MC3 needs to run for a few days to reach its best sound. The first day, the sound was a bit dry. Then, it got more full and had better imaging. After about 5 days or so, there was a noticeable improvement in the extreme top end with added delicacy, air, and speed.Robert
If I may ask, what source are you using ahead of the Mutec?Thx
I've got a Yggy with a Mutec too. I am using a Sonore microRendu fed by an Uptone Audio Ultracap LPS-1 supply. Really great digital!
The fact that the Mutec makes a big improvement is impressive. My Yggy too feeds a Tortuga passive, which in turn feeds a Job 225 amp and I love the results.
Schiit Yggdrasil vs nuPrime DAC 10 update:Decided to keep nuPrime DAC and ship Yggdrasil back to Schiit.
