Hi,

My Paradisea DAC has been performing since 2007.

A few days ago, the optical input to the dac did not produce any output.
Checked the cable, worked fine with other devices. Can see the red light at end of cable. But no output, and the front led stays red/blue, and not green.

Was just about to put it up for sale, and move to mhdt canary or the schiit bifrost multibit, but that's another story...

Any pointer to further checks in the dac, and reliable repair in chennai?

Cheers

Are you using only the optical input? Has your model mini USB input? Did you contact the MHDT?
 
The dac has digital coax and optical inputs only, and the coax is working fine.
It has no usb input, later models came with that. I use a mhdt usbridge to connect to dac.

Have emailed mhdt, lets see...

Quick response from mhdt.

"Probably the optic receiver is dead.
Check the soldering points of optic receiver is ok or not.

You may need a local technican to replace a new optic receiver like this:

2pcs TORX147L RX147L TORX147 15Mbps Fiber Optical Receiver Original Toshiba"

Ok, well. But, why don't they send the exact part? They should have that genuine part in hand. I think, you may ask them to send to you by charging the price for that.

Cheers.
 
Yes, it has served for 9 years, and I am thinking of moving on to the current MHDT Canary dac that has usb input as well.

Or a Schiit Modi Mb?!

Cheers
 
Update:
Just received the mhdt canary dac today, the paradisea has been sold a few weeks ago.
