jelt2359 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Can the Mutec do USB out? For example, AES or Optical in, and USB out. Link to comment

Aleg Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Can the Mutec do USB out? For example, AES or Optical in, and USB out. Yes,it converts between all interfaces. You only have to select the reference (input) signal, and it will be converted to all other interfaces, including USB. Link to comment
jelt2359 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yes,it converts between all interfaces. You only have to select the reference (input) signal, and it will be converted to all other interfaces, including USB. Just to clarify what I mean- can this take an optical or AES in signal, and do USB out to the DAC? (I know it can do USB out to the computer)... Link to comment

jelt2359 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 IIRC, yes, but there is only one USB port which is bidirectional, so USB/in to USB/out is not possible. Thanks- that's what I was looking for! Link to comment

SwissBear Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Julian, Hope you are doing good with this beautiful weather in Europe You did not mention which month of July the upgrade was due: is it July 2016 or 2017 ? More seriously, where are you in your plans related to the release of the upgrade ? Still planned later this month ? And what about the mysterious machine Ref 10 ? Any idea, report, comment you want to share ? Link to comment
Aleg Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks ;-) You're welcome ! BTW. Is there going to be yet another release after the 1.10 that I got on my recent new MC3+USB? Link to comment
TubeLover Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Eagerly awaiting the upcoming firmware upgrade too. How exactly do you perform the firmware upgrade for the MC-3+? JC Link to comment
One and a half Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Upgrade method : (According to the manual) "Fast and complex free software updates can be transmitted by the USB Interface." For Windows : Most likely an exe of some kind that unpacks the code, maybe works with the driver to locate the Mutec, once the handshaking begins it will be fine. I would suggest though to use the standard USB cable that came with the Mutec to the PC direct. Last thing you want is several USB fixers getting in the way and possibly stuffing things up. For OSX : No idea. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment

For OSX : No idea. If you look in the Mutec folder in Programs, there is an exe "MutecUSBAudiodfu". If you run that, you will see that it is the firmware upgrade program. It asks you to locate the firmware on your computer then to upgrade. I am not sure if the firmware has to be located locally or if it can be on a network. I assume network is fine. 12TB NAS >> i7-6700 Server/Control PC >> i3-5015u NAA >> Singxer SU-1 DDC (modded) >> Holo Spring L3 DAC >> Accustic Arts Power 1 int amp >> Sonus Faber Guaneri Evolution speakers + REL T/5i sub (x2) Other components: UpTone Audio LPS1.2/IsoRegen, Fiber Switch and FMC, Windows Server 2016 OS, Audiophile Optimizer 3.0, Fidelizer Pro 6, HQ Player, Roonserver, PS Audio P3 AC regenerator, HDPlex 400W ATX & 200W Linear PSU, Light Harmonic Lightspeed Split USB cable, Synergistic Research Tungsten AC power cords, Tara Labs The One speaker cables, Tara Labs The Two Extended with HFX Station IC, Oyaide R1 outlets, Stillpoints Ultra Mini footers, Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, Vicoustic/RealTraps/GIK room treatments Link to comment

mourip Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 And counting ....... Well not for me actually as mine was recently shipped with this new firmware OK. So I will bite. Assuming that you did get a newer version of firmware did you notice any increase in sound quality or any new features? I am surprised that they have not announced it officially or perhaps this was just an interim fix and not the big upgrade they were teasing us with? I love my Mutec USB. I have it doing re-clocking after my RedNet D16 and the SQ is just remarkable as a combination. "Don't Believe Everything You Think" System Link to comment

I have it doing re-clocking after my RedNet D16 and the SQ is just remarkable as a combination. I don't know, because the Mutec-3+USB I got was delivered with this new firmware already installed. So I don't know how it was with the old firmware and have nothing to compare it with. Yes, the auto-switching between DoP and PCM is said to be present, but I haven't tried that because it is behind my Rednet now, which is fed a 192kHz upsampled signal. I got mine directly from Mutec and was told ... I will send you the MC-3+USB already with the latest firmware V1.10 If any changes have been made since, I don't know either. I will ask when it is released if I still need to upgrade it. Link to comment
rgom Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Question for all you Mutec 3+ USB experts, I am currently running my 3+ usb as an AES/EBU reclocker for a cd transport and was thinking of adding a 10MHZ rubidium clock like the Antelope Audio 10MX, so if I do this it will no longer be using the internal clocks of the Mutec like the 1G clock and instead will use the 10Mhz rubidium clock of the Antelope am I correct?

You are correct. However, you may want to hold off for a little bit. Mutec will supposedly be selling their latest and greatest audio clock in September. Also, you may want to take a look at this as well regarding atomic clocks. I have not used one so I have no personal experience one way or another.

Hi Aleg, Your MC-3+USB does indeed already have the V1.10 firmware installed so no need to do anything on your end other than enjoy the music.
