Offered is „MC-3+ Smart Clock USB & Linear PSU“ by Mutec as second-hand device from the category „Wordclock Generators“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7349500891 ends on 24.12.2026 at 17:46 o'clock.
The MC3+ remains the current, standalone model rather than an obsolete generation—the later MC3+ USB adds USB functionality, but the original still has a clear role. At €900, though, this is ambitious: your comparable listings put the median and 25th percentile at €669, with the 75th percentile at €796. Unless this example includes unusually strong extras or exceptional provenance, it is priced above the normal used market.
It is still a worthwhile component for a system built around AES3, S/PDIF, or word-clock connections. The MC3+ combines highly regarded low-jitter reclocking, format conversion, and flexible clock distribution, making it particularly useful with multiple digital sources or a DAC that benefits from a cleaner incoming signal. The key is system compatibility: confirm the required BNC, AES/EBU, or S/PDIF connections and test stable locking. At €900, negotiation toward €750–€800 would make much more sense.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
MUTEC is a German audio brand founded by Christian Peters and now identified as a long-running Berlin manufacturer; the company notes a 35-year history, placing its origins in the late 1980s. It has built its name first in professional audio and later in hi-fi, with a clear emphasis on digital signal processing rather than traditional analog components.
Its core product focus is on digital clocks, reclockers, sample-rate converters, USB interfaces, audio/video converters, and digital distributors. MUTEC is known for products that sit between source and DAC, aiming to improve timing, reduce jitter, and manage digital signal integrity. It is not primarily a maker of amplifiers, speakers, turntables, or headphones.
In the market, MUTEC occupies a niche high-end position: technically oriented, pro-audio credible, and respected by audiophiles who care about digital front-end performance. The brand is not a mass-market hi-fi name, and its appeal is strongest among buyers seeking precision-engineered accessories and studio-derived digital tools rather than conventional lifestyle audio gear.
