  1. I am also using 2 Mutec MC-3+USB. I agree with one and half analogy. What gets reduced in the first one is reduced further with the second one.
  2. Try this link. https://www.tweekgeek.com/bybee-quantum-signal-enhancer/
  3. I have placed a Bybee Signal Enhancer underneath the Intona and a project case filled with steel BB shot on top of it. Very nice improvement.
  4. TarnishedEars, Ok, I lifted the ground and I do think there is a clearer soundstage with a deeper truer bass quality. However, I need to keep testing this before I agree that it does sound better without the ground, but...it just may.
  5. I'm using a Synergistic Research Grounding block with all of my components and that includes my PS Direct Stream. With this item I have noticed a definite improvement in sound quality. Tonight, I will try a cheater plug with just my PS Direct Stream and report back.
  6. I would say that the Intona is the one unit that impressed me the most. And it does not need a power supply!. But, combining the various units together is greater than the sum of the individual parts. The soundstage becomes more dimensional with more distance between instruments, vocals etc. Instead of the music coming at or near the front plane of the speakers some of it goes way back and everywhere in between. Quite impressive.
  7. I agree with you that in MOST instances the simpler, shorter path is the best. But... I have tried as you suggested and also every possible combination of the items that could be tried. The result is that every item in the chain in my order cleans up the signal bringing the sound stage deeper and deeper. I am using the shortest USB Curious Cables available. And, to my surprise, my USB chain FAR exceeds XLR/AES connections.
  8. Yes, even though I would have liked to have shortened the chain the Recovery does add to the sound quality improvement. P.S. I am using a Chinese linear power supply with the Recovery.
  9. The Regen will be the weak spot. I sold mine. My chain is : Bryston BDP-2>Intona>PS LANDRover>Intona>Recovery>Mutec-3+USB>Mutec-3+USB>PS Audio Direct Stream dac.
  10. Julian, Probably most computers users wouldn't have the problems I had with the update. But I think its helpful for you and others to know that the Norton virus protection does not like your downloads.
  11. Thanks again for your help. No I wont be selling the Mutec's they are pretty great.
  12. Well...drum roll.... I did it! Norton virus protection was the big offender. I had to completely remove it. I deleted and reloaded the Mutec driver. Then I had to download zip things, bit external extensions and such. Once I got the conversion from 1.01 to 1.03 I knew I could do it. But no, I then had to figure what I did and try to duplicate with the other application to then get the 1.10. And to show what a masochists I am, I have 2 of the Mutec's connected in tandem so I had to do the whole thing twice! If Mutec ever comes out with another revision, I'm selling them! I do think the sound quality is a little better and I like the fade in feature especially when going from different resolution files. Anyway, thank you so much for the help, I could not have done it with out your help.
  13. Thanks, Ok, I will delete the Mutec drivers and try to reinstall it again. I understand the screen shot on post 845 but I can not find the MUTECUSBaudio.exe file. Aleg, And no, I do not have anyone else to help me with this. QUESTION: When I reinstall the drivers should I be connected up to the MUTEC via a usb cable?
  14. Thanks, I followed those instructions but still cannot get to the exe. Should I re download everything again?
