Hi

I'm guessing that I've got two dead 24/96 DAC's in my rear DSP5000s. No audio from anything that I send when connected to any G68 digital output, front rear side etc.

It's odd that both have gone at the same time, but I've been thorough in my testing. Replacing them with a spare DSP5000C outputs audio. I've tried re-typing etc.

The only time audio is heard is if I run a speaker calibration test from the Meridian Config program, I'm guessing that the noise generator for this is local to the speaker. Sending a sine wave from the G68 outputs no audio to these speakers.

Is there any repair available for these? I've read elsewhere that replacement DAC's are no longer available.

I have two (I think) spare 24/96 DSP5000C's and was wondering if the DAC board in those can be used in the DSP5000's? If so, will I need to switch firmware?

I also have some spare DSP5000's but they are not 24/96, I'm assuming that introducing these to the G68 will downgrade the 24 bit resolution for the entire system?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
Steve
