    Can anyone diagnose cause of amplifier fault?

    It would indeed. I am currently chasing the retailer to get it repaired so that this can be done. I have even suggested to them that they do this after repair and before return to myself. Does anyone know anything about vu meters and testing the digital output on the SACD player? I know nothing...

    Can anyone diagnose cause of amplifier fault?

    Thank's for your inputs everyone Re the impedance the speakers are Monitor Audio Gold 300 series 4 and the system had been working for 6 months no probs It is correct to say the chip is the same, however I understand the 2500 has upgraded parts compared to the 1600. Does this make a difference...

    Can anyone diagnose cause of amplifier fault?

    "The analog out is only going to be the CD layer of a disc." Wrong Analogue out is the only way to get the SACD layer out of a DCD-1600NE Analogue out is currently working fine with the A400. I am currently unable to get digital out until the PMA-2500 is mended so I have a DAC to feed. This...

    Can anyone diagnose cause of amplifier fault?

    It's not going into protection mode i.e. where it can be turned back on again. When repaired the 1st time it blew it needed new output transistors. I assume (perhaps wrongly) this is what has happened since. Once repaired it will very much be a case of attaching one thing at a time - but the...

    I was listening to SACD via analogue out thanks to Sony copyright with SACD and CD via digital out to the marginally improved DAC in the amp

    Can anyone diagnose cause of amplifier fault?

    Thank's for the reply. It may unfortunately come to that which would be a great pity as - when it works - is an excellent amp (as it should be for £2k) and has a top phono stage, DAC and also HT bypass which few others offer. It is also paired with the visually matching SACD player so...
