Well my 4 year old gen 1 WA7 USB/DAC seems to have failed. I've tried the obvious usb cable exchange, computer reboot, driver reinstall but get
"This device cannot start [code10}"
on both my normal Windows XP music server machine, and a newer Widows 7 machine. Has anyone successfully cured this problem?
Anyone have experience with sending back to Woo for repair?
I see
Woo offers a
$499 gen 1 to gen 2 upgrade:
DAC upgrade program for 1st gen WA7 customers. The upgrade would replace the entire digital section in your 1st gen WA7 to 2nd gen DAC. This includes the new 24/384kHz ESS SABRE DAC and XMOS USB controller with “high retention” USB connector (orange color), premium Teflon tube sockets and new LEDs. This is the same digital section used on the latest 2nd gen WA7 Fireflies.
Has anyone used the upgrade offer? Are you happy with it?
