Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode

I'll try to remember to let you know. I have been out of town so much lately my system has not been on in 3+ weeks.
Rory at Benchmark is the guy I have talked to. Maybe give him an email. I think his email is thru the website sales link. Good luck, John

Hi John, thanks and yes, I've been communicating with Rory (sales manager). He said his unit works the same as mine but isn't sure if this means both our units are faulty, so he's asked their tech guys to look into it and will get back to me.

Problem is, it's now been almost 3 weeks and I'm still no wiser.

On another forum, two Benchmark DAC 2 owners replied to me saying their units work as described in the manual and have advised me to get mine replaced.

Anyway, thanks again.

Quick update for those interested in this topic - if the HT (high throughout) is engaged on the DAC 2, then the unit will not switch off after 5 mins when placed in standby mode. Instead the lights will continue to flash indefinitely.

i have mine and the sound It is worse than the last (hdr-1)

I really enjoy my hdr.....best dac I've own....albeit...I'm on a limited budget.
