Well..... I am torn about posting this, but things have been pretty frustrating regarding this.
Emotiva has been upfront, but very cold and inflexible.
Here is the response. Keep in mind I spent $365 shipped, 2 years ago.
Than I gave emotive $100. They charge this to those that don't have the original proof of sale. The original owner returned none of my emails, so I figured they could fix their own product.
I told them that there was no digital signal going in, and that the DC-1 was freezing up. They kept saying "we've never heard of that problem". So I took a chance and paid them the $100. I didn't realize I'd be doing something akin to gambling.
Here is the response.
"After several hours of working on your unit our technicians have determined that is it unable to be repaired. The unit did not pass any AP testings, there were no digital inputs, and several parts would have to be replaced, some of which are no longer available. We are able to send you a replacement working unit in lieu of repair. The total for this non-warranty replacement would be an additional $200. Please let us know if you want to proceed with getting a working unit, or have us send you the original unit back."
That puts the total cost at $665 all in, to continue life with a Stealth DAC from emotiva....
I am angry. 1st world problem, yes, but like most of us, I'm not swimming in money either.
I guess they told me..
