Mutec - MC3+ USB - USB Master Clock & Audio-Re-Clocker
Revolutionize your USB audio experience with the Mutec MC3+ USB, a groundbreaking master clock and audio re-clocker. Tackling the inherent challenges of USB interfaces, Mutec's dedicated research led to the development of an asynchronous USB interface with signal isolation, overcoming electromagnetic interference and elevating audio quality. This meticulously crafted device transcends the limitations of standard USB connections, offering an audiophile-grade solution for discerning listeners and professionals alike.
"Now this is truly remarkable: the MC‑3+USB reduces jitter artifacts by more than 35 dB when re-clocking a professional DAT recorder."

The MC3+ USB goes beyond traditional USB audio limitations by introducing a proprietary signal-isolating USB interface. Galvanically isolated and equipped with ultra-low noise audio oscillators, this interface is immune to interference from PCs, laptops, or music servers. With support for high-speed USB, DSD/DoP streams up to DSD/DoP256, and the capability to convert and transmit various audio formats, including PCM and native DSD, the MC3+ USB ensures optimal connectivity and flexibility. Experience a new level of sonic perfection as it re-clocks and enhances the audio, delivering increased soundstage width, precise imaging, and a more musical representation of recorded space and instruments.
The MC3+ USB's versatility extends to studio and live sound environments. Serving as both a generator and clock distributor, it effectively regenerates incoming clock signals, stabilizing existing clock systems, and elevating sound reproduction quality. Its digitally compensated clock accuracy can be further enhanced by locking to atomic clocks or GPS receivers, ensuring the highest timing accuracy. The device supports various clock rates, including 10 MHz Rubidium-based clocks, 5 MHz Caesium-based clocks, and frequencies of 1 MHz and 2.5 MHz. Whether in the studio or live events, the MC3+ USB ensures flawless synchronization, making it an indispensable tool for audiophiles and professionals seeking superior audio quality and precision.
FEATURES:
- Advanced USB Master Clock and Audio-Re-Clocker for uncompromised audio quality
- German engineering ensures ultra-low jitter, optimizing timing accuracy
- Minimizes digital artifacts for a pristine and transparent audio reproduction
- Versatile compatibility with various audio sources
