synsei, if I understand your explanation correctly, I have something of a similar input problem problem with the Audioengine D1 Dac with my TV 2.0 set up (which in looking for alternatives is how I arrived in this forum). The sound frequently drops out when switching, whether turning the TV on, switching between devices, or even switching within a device, e.g., changing channels a few times quickly, reverse/forward videos on a USB media box. Since a Micromega MyDac works correctly and it's powered by 110v AC directly (U.S.), vs. from the USB port with an AC adapter (5v DC?) with the AE, I've assumed it is a power issue. When I saw the designation DC on the 7530 it made me wonder, although the earlier Beresford's were also DC, I think. I never thought about the possibility of firmware. Have to ask Audioengine about that.
Good luck with that Gene ;)

If I understand it correctly it seems these switching issues are routed in the sources not looking to be "off" at the DAC input. What's the betting AudioEngine will say "we expect there to be only one digital source actively transmitting at any one time".
Yes, my thinking has been slow switching - and sometimes maybe not recognizing the last device that was in focus at powering down (i.e., why no TV sound sometimes at power up). I'm not counting on much from AE, but the AE cost me $119 vs. $369 for the Micromega. That's a lot just to get proper switching.Quote:

Simple, if you really think about it. Reading the previous posts, I believe this to be the main reason why people are having such issues with the Bushmaster.
To StanB: Always remember what I have stated in my previous post about detractors naysayers and complainers, telling you how you should mod your product, rewrite its software, and run your business, etc...etc.. Remember, it is your business, it is your product, and it is your VISION, not theirs. It is a much better choice for you as a businessman, to make your own choices, your own decisions, and to succeed or fail in your endeavors, based on your OWN personal choices, not theirs. Always support the people that have made investments in your products; your REAL customers so to speak of.
Don't let the tire kickers ideas and opinions affect how you design and market your products, or run your business. (For those that don't know - a tire kicker is a supposed customer who walks into a car lot; test drives the car, says he would love to buy it now, if only it were in red or blue or lime green - whatever color is not on the lot, drives the salesman crazy struggling to please him or her, then, doesn't buy anyway). Beware the tire kickers - there are lots of them. And they are not your REAL customers to begin with.
And never forget that great old American saying - Opinions are like A**holes -
Everybody's got one. Goodbye and have a nice day.

Rex, I bought one, it didn't work for me therefore I no longer own one, simples. Being provocative isn't smart mate... :ner:Quote:

When one is too far away to take a test drive, as I am (and apparently you are), then "kicking the tires" with questions like mine are all one has.
Thanks, David. I wasn't far off!Quote:
