Just wanted to update this thread. In my case, the issue turned out to be corrupt micro-sd card which was preventing streamer from booting up. I used a new micro SD card preloaded with firmware 1.43 (via Balena etcher) and replaced in the DAC. Streamer works now (and sounds pretty darn good)...

Thanks. No luck with Balena etcher so far. Will wait to hear back from seller before I try the SD card replacement route. Did use the USB-c to USB-A cable but same issue.

I've contacted the seller. Bought a pre-owned unit on usaaudiomart and they had never used the LAN input so could have been defective to begin with.

Ethernet lights are not lit on inserting the cable. I tried to follow the steps for installing the firmware 1.43. But usbimager is not able to see the flashdrive on R26. I did shutdown the power button on back and then connected the usbc cable. Suspecting that the streamer section is just not...

Should have clarified. I use JPlay Femto on PC and Minim Server on NAS as media servers and Arcam Music Life on iPhone as the controller. Have even tried Bubble UPNP on android. I was expecting the Gustard to show up as a renderer in these apps but it doesn't. Also went to my router to check...

Hi All, I just got this DAC and have set it up with my HTPC. I am able to get it working via USB but haven't managed to get the streaming mode working. When I put the DAC in LAN mode, it doesn't show up on my network. I've verified that the ethernet jack/cable I'm connecting it to are good...

  Thanks guys, earlier I read talks of model1 vs model 2 and from whatever I could gather, only model1  was released but wanted to confirm. Cheers  

Hey guys,    are there multiple versions of Cardas EM5813? If so, is there a post/thread describing differences between various versions?   Thanks

Hiya guys, this was my first US head-fi meet and I had a whale of a time The folks at the meet were really friendly and it was fun meeting them. Mikhail is a really cool dude and it was great talking to him. I arrived late thanks to a NYC traffic jam so didnt have much time to listen to the...

Jahn dude, hope to see ya there. Quote: lan wrote That's great because my HE60/HEV70 rig just died yesterday. And my computer the day before. They were working, I walked away for a little, and were off when I returned. They didn't turn on again. Sorry to hear about your equipment...

Hiya guys, I'm from India but currently in NJ for a business trip. Would like to attend the meet if there's enough room. Will tug along my KGSS, HE-60 and Grover Silver Ref cables. cheers Rohit

Nomad, have you noticed the effect during the day time also? Its possible that the power supply fluctuations are lesser at late night hours and thus the system starts sounding better. HEV-70 power supply is just an unregulated wall wart and wouldn't handle power fluctuations well...
