Help with audio alchemy ddp1


Hi all!

 

Just bought second hand ddp1 Wich was spesose to work perfectly but I have some problem.

 

The first is that I can't install the USB driver on my computer. When I connect the dac it is not recognize and when I try to install it from elac website it said that the dac must be connected and then it can't continue..

I try 2 computers, updating the fw, playing with the dac inputs but nothing.

 

A second problem is with the volume control which goes mad.. and the third one is when I'm connecting my Allo digione signeture source (serving as room endpoint with dietpi)

To the dac it once in a while (few minutes) stop playing for a fraction of a second, make a 'clik' sound and the pll indicator is going red. Any idea of how to fix it? I tried to play files from the network and from tidal but same problem...

 

Try to connect with elac support, but they a really slow and don't very helpful...

Sorry, I have nothing other than rechecking the 50 or 60 hz to ensure it is correct. Would like to hear what you find out from Elac though.
I too am experiencing problems with the DDP-1. I'm getting no sound out of my system when it's hooked up and as roip1 mentions with his, the volume control has gone "mad". I'm in communication with Peter but I'm hoping someone here has an idea or two what to do. Is there a way to factory reset the unit?
Yes. 
You can push back while powering the dmp back on.

The volume control problems is due to a very sensitive alignment that need to be done. You can try to do this on your own, but it can take some time.

I sent my unit for audio alchemy for repair and now it works very good.

Hooked it up with schiet Aegir and the combo is amazing
Glad to hear you got it sorted out.
Something like that would drive me crazy.

All the best,
Nonoise
