unluckiest promitheus DAC owner?
« on: 22 Sep 2008, 05:38 pm »
Well I am on my second DAC.  First one had a loud hum even at low volumes.  Nicholas Kindly sent me a new DAC with USB connection but this one only has sound come through the right speaker with white noise coming through the left speaker.  In both situation I have tried it with various sources, headphone, amp, cables and the problems remain.  I now feel terrible that Nicholas has sent another DAC and that doesn't work as I know it isn't cheap to make and send to the UK.

On the other hand, you would think it would be in Nicholas' interest to thoroughly test each outgoing DAC, especially if there is expensive shipping involved. I mean - how long does testing for fundamental functioning take?

Got an email from Nicholas today where he thinks something has got loose in transport as he tested the item before shipping and it worked fine, so hopefully I can find the problem this evening.
