I have a number of ARC components and have not had any real problems. A year or so ago I had a problem with the on/off switch of my Ref 110. No big deal and my dealer took care of it. I have had no problems with my Ref CD7 or DAC 8.
I have owned ARC equipment since the late 1980's. I will say that I feel some of the older gear was made a bit better. I am not a big fan of the plastic switches and buttons which just seem cheap.
