| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock The big questions in my mind are- 1) Is the transport actually introducing timing artifacts to the present Dac? 2) Is a 10 MHz clock really needed for Redbook/CD format? Dacs that have dual word clock inputs typically accept better/higher clock... | |
| Mutec MC 3+ and CTronic After Dark Clock @rodge827 I’m looking into a Mutec 3+USB to use as a distributor/clock between my Naim Uniti Core and 3 different Dacs. Just chiming in here to say it sounds like you’re really only using the Mutec as an interface to clock your transport prior t... | |
| IC cable to address RF coming from nearby FM station Check posts from @spatialking- In reading about one of his experiences with a neighbor who had some massive amateur radio setup near his place he had to seek out a heavily shielded cable- just don’t remember which type or brand. | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @lowrider57 Thanks for the notes regarding your 2.1x Signature. At some point I’d like to discuss more about the upgrades you’ve performed and how the choices were made. Best- Designsfx | |
| IC cable to address RF coming from nearby FM station @converge You can purchase Canare Star Quad Balanced cables from Bluejeans Cable- I use these on my system and have had no issues. A eight foot cable with Neutrik connectors will run you about $40. | |
| New AES3/USB interface? I might have a different reference than you- I pulled the manual off their web site a couple of weeks ago. The setup notes in the copy I have state the following: »INTERN« & »RE-CLK« (Internally referenced Audio re-clocking) The »INTERN« and ... | |
| New AES3/USB interface? I think your thought process is correct with regards to the I/O. From what I’ve read it seems that the MC looks for a reference- and whether that’s via an AES/SPDIF input or an individual BNC Word clock input (rear input connections) it would corr... | |
| New AES3/USB interface? @hedkase- Ok- thanks for the pic. I may be guessing here but from what I’ve read in the manual it looks like you might have missed a step when setting this up. If not- my fault but it won’t be any worst than it is now! Have you tried “DE-selectin... | |
| New AES3/USB interface? @hedkase is the MC3 set to act as a clock generator or distributor? | |
| New AES3/USB interface? @hedkase- I would be very surprised if it were cable quality- I’ve pushed $2 USB cables into video processors that were doing more work than that without issue. It’s a weird problem. Is the Mac the Master and does the Mac see the Mutec as the de... | |
| Need to buy some more sliding nuts with a spring for my rack Well it’s really the thread count that matters most! Hope all works out for you! | |
| To couple, or not to couple, that is the question Sniff- Did you surmise your speaker cabinets were moving or did you see them moving? I would guess the Sorbothane is providing some absorption (reducing the transmitted energy) as well as lowering the frequency seen between the cabinet enclosure ... | |
| Need to buy some more sliding nuts with a spring for my rack Not sure what size you need but these might work for you. Press here | |
| New AES3/USB interface? @hedkase This is kind of where I was going when I suggested sample rate change- perhaps I should have worded it as losing synch or not being locked. I wonder if you have something going on where the clocks are losing synch? You mentioned a mix-... |
