Thanks to a total of four clock outputs on the REF10 NANO any 10 MHz compatible device in a setup can and should receive its

own dedicated clock supply. We strongly advise against daisy-chaining multiple devices using so-called BNC tee adapters (more

about this on page 9).

Particularly, the combination of the REF10 NANO with MUTEC’s own MC3+ or MC3+ USB Smart Clocks offers exciting applica-

tions to achieve the best-possible quality enhancements by re-clocking digital music sources. To understand this scenario, please

imagine the following setup as a starting point:

In this application example we have two digital sources that are used to play back music via AES/EBU and USB interfaces. The

MUTEC MC3+ USB acts as audio re-clocker to enhance the audio signal and removes jitter before passing the audio into a DAC

(D/A converter) and a digital headphone ampliﬁer. This is a simple closed system in which the audio clock rate is determined by

the music source. All other devices following in the chain (MC3+ USB, DAC, headphone ampliﬁer) will adapt to the sampling rate

set by the source.

Within this particular system the MC3+ USB acts as core part to improve the system's overall sound quality. It exclusively is

connected to the REF 10 NANO to get its audio re-clocking performance enhanced even further.
