The problem goes away with reprogramming the CPLD (press and hold '1' while power-cycling). The theory was that the DAC and processor somehow got in a state where they were out of synch? IIRC there was this report, another couple, and then SD asked to get in touch with them regarding a unit that failed in this way, most likely to do a post-mortem (don't quote me on that, but I recall the problem was taken very seriously!) No reports since then. > Or maybe the beast is still living in all SBs, lurking, waiting for > someone to connect 1000wpc amps to bose cubes. hehe I don't think that falls into the realm of audio, wouldn't it come under the category of "pyrotechnics"? :-) The point is, some sort of attenuation is like insurance. Just like insurance, you don't want or expect something bad to happen, but in a rare circumstance it just might and when it does, you'll be glad you had some modicum of protection. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29151 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
