Does a new cd transport require break-in time?

“Carbon copy”.
They answered my query through another correspondent’s email, rather than answering me directly. Strange.

That would be me.

I sent off a reply email again yesterday.

Hi Bart,

Thank you for your quick responses to my original question.

quote:
"The Answer to your question is that the impedance is 75 ohms"


That, I understand.

What confused me is in the CXC specs it says, "< 75 ohms."Here in the US the symbol ( < ) means less than. Therefore less than 75 ohms.

Best regards,
Jim

Hi James,

After speaking with the engineers on this one again it turns out that the < that is in the spec sheet of the CXC is a printing error and should not be there.

I hope this helps clear this up for you.

Kind Regards,

Well, here’s the latest chapter in the saga of Schiit service.  

They sent me a label which I was supposed to place on the package of the Gungnir Multibit I was returning because it didn’t work.  Very graciously, they offered me a new replacement, even though it was beyond the 15 day return period. So, I carefully placed the label on the package and brought it to a FedEx office.  Schiit said as soon as they received the tracking information from FedEx they would send me a new unit.  I waited a week.  No indication of them sending me anything.  I called and they said there was no evidence I had sent it, even though I followed their instructions implicitly,  
By this time they had received my unit. And, they tell me there’s nothing wrong with it!!  And,what’s more, they couldn’t possibly send me a replacement because of “scratches and gouges” on the old one.  Hardly!! I had just gotten iit.
So, it must have been my imagination that the many times I tried to run it, it was silent. 
Thiis could go back and forth for a long time.

Seems to me like a sh***t company .it's a shame. 

@rvpiano,

Do you have the serial# for the one you sent back. Ask them to make sure they are not mistaking yours for someone else.

Then there is FedEx. Was the DAC damaged in shipment. How well did you package the DAC? Did you see the YouTube Video of the FedEx delivery guy throwing the flat screen TV over the 6ft high fence?

The package was put in its original carton and packed securely,
i dont think it could have gotten scratched by FedEx.
Schiit still says I didn’t put the proper label on it when I assured them I did.
Aggravating!
Its possible that FedEx did screw up by pasting their label over Schiit’s but  Schiit insists I’m at fault.
