Re: DXS Problems

I have had one for a while now.

I experienced some problems where the second bank of inputs was flakey. I run thru a MSB DAC which indicates the bit rate of the data presented to it. Inputs on the first bank worked fine, and the second bank were very noisy; the reported output bitrate varied wildly, and the audio was garbage or non-existent.

Since I really only needed 3 out of the 8 inputs, I just used the first bank, until finally finding the time to attempt some experiments.

I swapped the two banks, and everything started working fine, although I also "discovered" the FF key on the remote, which gives some diagnostics and error rates, and incorrectly thought that only one input was working error free, although in fact once I swapped input modules, whatever problem I was having went away.

All in all, I am quite happy with the unit, but suspect that there are some production kinks to be worked out -- loose screws rattling about in the case is one give away here.

I would not venture that early adoption of new products is advisable to all -- one must expect the occasional glitch, and unless prepared for the possible additional inconvenience of having to work some problems out, one might find more annoyance than benefits.
