iBasso D2-Boa... USB-DAC dead - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

I am curious, has anyone else had the USB DAC portion of their D2 (or other similar device) die?

I've had it plugged into the same computer for the last 8 months since I bought it... it has never fallen off the desk, been spilled on, or shocked in any way... I actually really like it.

It bugs me a little that a device I haven't mistreated in any way would work one day and be failed the next. However searching the web and these forums leads me to think that this doesn't happen all that often.

Anyone have input? I just contacted support today, and whenever they get back from vacation I'll start the warranty service I guess.

Cheers

Same prob with mine.

The DaC wont play and would just hang. Used it in another computer and the same thing happened, so its not my computer. Used multiple cables to no avail.

The amp works just fine though.

To be fair, there isnt much noise in the net re failing Boas, so I guess were just the unlucky ones.

I sent mine back.
