MUTEC announces the MC3+ USB Audio Interface and Reclocker

The MUTEC MC3+ USB is “Roon Tested” certified. The MC3+ USB in combination with Roon software features precise clocking and seamless integration in audiophile set-ups.

The MUTEC MC3+ USB is a versatile audio interface and reclocker designed to optimize digital audio signals. With precise jitter reduction and reclocking, it enhances the signal quality when transmitting to devices such as digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The result is a clearer and more detailed sound, especially when handling high-resolution audio data.

The MC3+ USB supports interfaces such as USB, AES/EBU, S/P-DIF, and TOSLINK, acting as a bridge between digital audio sources and converting their signals. Its high compatibility with modern audio systems makes it the ideal solution for demanding audiophiles and technology professionals alike. Its flexibility is demonstrated by its use in both HiFi setups and professional recording studios.

Roon: The Music Software

Roon organizes digital music and plays it across various devices. The software offers a centralized music library that integrates local files and streaming services like Tidal and Qobuz. Roon enriches this experience by incorporating detailed metadata such as artist information and song lyrics, providing users with deeper insights into their music collection.

A key feature of Roon is its lossless streaming capability via the RAAT (Roon Advanced Audio Transport) protocol, which is designed to preserve sound quality. Roon also provides an intuitive user interface with numerous options for controlling and customizing playback quality.

Audio devices can be either Roon Ready or Roon Tested certified. Roon Ready means that the audio equipment is directly connected to Roon over a network and fully integrates the RAAT protocol. Roon Tested refers to devices that connect to a Roon Core via USB, HDMI, or other physical connections. These devices have been thoroughly tested by Roon to ensure flawless compatibility with the Roon system.
