Thanks again, Steve.

I will take the time to disassemble the unit again, clean and inspect all the boards, maybe post some pictures here so others can noticed what my eyes are missing, I hope to find a simple solution to repair it.

About the donor unit, I will keep an eye on it, but as I live outside Europe and USA, it will be hard to find and bring it to my country (maybe I could send it to Italy, 'cos that's an Europe country I usually travel to).

Knowing that I will be using the Zone 2 digital outputs for a while, I would like to know if the Zones outputs also use the apodizing upsampler/filter both for digital and analogue, does someone have info about it?

Also, does the DSP7000 speaker, running the latest firmware using a Bluesounde as the source, uses the apodizing upsampler/filter? The 192kHz support for this speaker is an upgrade done with some hardware changes or it is a software thing, available with the latest firmware (there is no note about it in the Meridian Releases Notes)?

Cheers,

Jorge
