Looking at the Mutec MC-1,2 or the MC-3 usb between my pc and my nDAC. The latter is twice the money.
The main difference as I can see is the world clock in the MC-3. Does the nDAC benefit from this or does it re-clock the signal anyway?
I've searched the forum on this but the information seems inconclusive.

The Naim Dac does re-clock the digital signal. The white paper gives you details.
However, as we are discovering, that appears to be only part of what matters in the digital chain...

Ok, thank you! So this means that the re-clocking function of the MC-3 may be unneeded as this is being done later down the chain?
Since its twice the money of the MC-1,2 I rather not pay for a feature that I already have.

I have owned the Mutec3+USB and there is no doubt that it is a good bit of kit. However, I found that the Singxer-F1 extracted the same level if detail for 20% of the price. It is itself further tuned by placing an IFI iPurifier 2 in front of it.
Obviously this is in my system, YMMV.
