Bad optical input on Vision DAC?
« on: 15 Jun 2022, 10:09 pm »
I've got a Vision EC DAC and one of the optical inputs has gone bad. Given the quality of Frank's gear I can't help but think it's something I've done, but I have no idea what it could be.

Any ideas of what I could have done or whether there's a simple fix? Simple being something like spraying some compressed air - which I'm out of and just ordered more of - into it .

Cables can go bad too

I plugged the same cable into the other optical input and it works fine. Been listening using that one for the last few hours

OH NO! Then I'd be without it! If I can get a sub I'll that.

Thanks Frank!

Problem solved! Sprayed some compressed air in there and now it's working fine.

This is good to hear, both for you and for possible future reference.

And the NEXT best thing (#1 of course - it's fixed) is that I don't have to send it off and be without it.

Great fix!  I would not have thought of that.

Better yet, now your system has more air.  :)

It didn't have enough breathing room. Now my whole system is a little more open and airy! (Two can play this game!)
