Heard the Bushmaster without PSU and it sounded extremely good. Best Dac in its sector imo.

Yeah good sound out the box - probably nothing better for £200 but so much better with uprated psu... However my Bushmaster days are over. Now to M-DAC and its endless software tweaks!

No it's been sent back for a refund. Despite how good it sounded I couldn't live with something that didn't quite do what it said on the box. Yes of course the audio quality is what I bought it for however a failed sleep function that apparently I could not get to work or wouldn't work in my system is not acceptable.

Well you'd rather have it in sleep mode than those bright LEDs glaring at you! Glad it's not just me then with sleep mode trouble - I wonder who else is affected...

I'm sorted.
Didn't even know it had a 'sleep mode', how does that work then? (or not in this instance...)

From what I recall, you ensure the Auto light is on then hold down the Select button till the Auto light flashes on/off, then let go. You should find that the lights are now off and the DAC still works but with no distracting lights. Full correct details are in the supplied manual.
