I don't have an issue whatsoever with the sleep mode. But if nobody wants or needs it then it is a waste of effort including it.

Well it seems some of your past and current customers have an issue with the sleep mode so seems they need some help.
No issues here with sleep or anything else, just great sounding music. I hope this issue gets sorted to the few that came through.
From personal experience with Stan, despite the fact that I bought my BM used, he has been stellar all the way as I want to mod the headphone section and have been provided with great help and tips. Looking forward for the next level DAC whenever it's ready.
Coming back to the sleep mode feature, I appreciate it and only wish more equipment that I own could also do it.
Well seems you're one of the lucky ones where it worked. It's clearly a fragile feature being that a few have had issues. If mine was so robust I'd never have sent it back.
Which says it all really. On that note I think a line should be drawn under this now. Dav, you are looking forward to receiving your MDac and it looks as if Stan will be removing the offending code from the firmware. I'm sure he will make it available to those who still want it. Adaptability is the key ;)Quote:

Well its performance has not been under question - that aspect is exemplary for the price.
Not sure if some of you guys realize what a steal Bushmaster actually is. Is it perfect? -- most definitely not. But hey, for that kind of a pocket change, it would be moronic to demand perfection.Quote:

That's what it's for.
Was that meant for me Alex? I didn't have a problem with the LED's on my BM, it had more serious issues and now I own a Rega DAC :scratch:Quote:

This discussion we're having will help Stan to improve his product.
What I didn't appreciate is that apparently I can't get sleep mode to work but Stan can - how odd. It's barely a complex procedure! It clearly wasn't other components in my system causing this.
magiccarpetride as you have had to put duct tape on your DAC I take it your sleep mode didn't work also?
