When it has the problem, does the preamp light go on and off when you hit the preamp button, or does it stat lit?
Also, it won't work more than 10 minutes straight?
Take a known "perfect" source like a CD player and see how it does with it. That is, try to simplify your troubleshooting and change the source for a known good one.

Turned it ON and everything seemed fine (lights and display came ON), but there was no sound. My DAC shows that it is locking on to the SPDIF optical signal, but the Phoenix is not outputting sound to my headphones. After a few hours of pulling my hair out, I gave up. This morning, I decided to try again. This time the LEFT headphone speaker had sound. I fiddled around with the Preamp button and turned the Phoenix ON/OFF a few times and then both LEFT/RIGHT headphone speakers worked. Everything worked great for about 10 mins. and then all sound cut out again. Argh!!! I decided to step away for lunch and came back about 30 mins later and it worked again for about 10 mins. and then sound died. Any ideas what to do??? I really dont want to have to send this back to Kingwa... =/ |
