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...

@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 ...

Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts
@scottya118  I’m not spinning CD’s anymore- but do use CD format 99.9% of the time. All disks are ripped to SSD on my Naim Uniti Core.  
Anyone who owns a Technics SU-R1000, can you answer a quick question
@jsqt- Sorry- meant to ask did you run the optimization with the calibration record that is provided with the receiver? There are threads on Agon regarding this unit- I didn’t read them but seems like there are others that may own this unit.

@jsqt  Did you calibrate the phono stage?  
Whats playing on your system today?
+1 @david_ten for the Hermanos El Malo lead, listening to it now ( unfortunately via Spotify) but glad I tried it! Nice laid back old school guitar- very cool.  
DAC’s
Can anyone point me to the Meitner MA3 thread- I think I missed the turn

@doni- What other equipment makes up your system? Is it all tube?  
At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections?
@dreas  Are you referring to balanced signal paths between preamps/amplifiers? Digital components or just the use of that style of connector? There is a difference when it comes to the signal path (balanced/unbalanced) and there are other situati...
