MC-3PLUS USB ALUMINUM - Overview

The MC-3+ Smart Clock USB is setting a new benchmark for clocking technology and the reproduction of digital audio by uniquely combining an audiophile USB interface with an audio re-clocker in perfection! Particularly designed for the demands of high-end consumer audio, the device expands a new sonic universe with increased musicality, clarity, and precision. As such, the MC-3+USB will prove its worth in many audiophile listening rooms around the world.

  • Features:

    • Improved, next-generation re-clocking and 1G-Clock technology by MUTEC
    • Audiophile, asynchronous two-channel USB interface with ultra-low noise audio clock oscillators and total galvanic isolation for surpression of high-frequency interferences
    • Effective power supply filtering through lowest-noise, multiple-stage voltage supplies
    • Regenerates and audibly improves the audio quality of USB PCM audio and DSD/DoP streams as well as connected devices
    • Offers uniquely externally referenced re-clocking, locked to Rubidium-/Caesium atomic clocks or GPS receivers
    • Serves as a flexible digital input switching matrix, audio format converter and master clock
    • Compatible to Apple Macintosh and Windows PCs
    • Intuitive user interface and easy installation
    • Update-capability via USB
    • Available with black- or clear aluminum front panel
    • Converts DSD/DoP streams (64-256) to PCM audio with selectable output clock rate
    • Transfers USB audio streams into AES3 and S/P-DIF and outputs those to five digital audio formats simultaneously
    • Converts between USB PCM audio, USB DSD/DoP audio, AES3 and S/P-DIF, as well as between AES11 and Word Clock
    • Highly compatible USB audio class 2.0 driver for Windows supporting ASIO, MME, DirectSound, WASAPI, Kernel Streaming, PCM 16Bit, 24Bit, 32Bit and Float-32Bit at all clock rates between 44.1kHzand 192.0kHz
    • Ultra-low jitter Word Clock generation with clock rates up to 1,536.0 kHz
    • Scalable to FS1x512 clock rates, 22,5792 MHz & 24,576 MHz, for e.g. high-end audio interfaces
    • Locks to Rubidium- (10 MHz), Cesium- (5 MHz) and GPS clock references
    • Generates Word Clocks, Super Clocks, AES3 + S/P-DIF blanks simultaneously
    • Uninterruptable, fail-safe clock generation in all operation modes
    • Eliminates so-called digital "clicks and pops"
    • Individual lock indicators for the clock or audio reference and the re-clock reference
    • USB, AES/EBU, AES/EBUid and S/P-DIF interfaces in one box
    • S/P-DIF interconnections via BNC, RCA and optical interfaces available as in- and outputs
    • Front panel lock-out for preventing of misuse
    • Rack-space-saving 9.5" housing
    • Built-in, universal power supply
