On a related note: anyone knows an alternative for the RME ADI-648 (MADI <-> ADAT bridge) ? A few days ago two more failed at the CdS, these are the 5th and 6th. In all cases it seems to be the power supply. And it's not excessive temperature as we were thinking before - these two were operating in a conditioned environment and never have been 'too hot'.
