Berkeley CA audiophile is desperate need of help


Hello. My digital system has crashed for the second time

in 6 months. I have been in touch with my DAC 

and server companies. What I really need to do

is connect my Innuous server to another DAC or another

DAC to my server. I contacted 2 local brick and morter 

shops in the hopes that I could bring in my server to rule our

a problem with it. An Innuous dealer said no. Is there any 

one near by who could give me a hand. Might I come to you

with my DAC and hook it up, or might you come to me

with server and or DAC? I am happy to compensate 

for one's time. I am a 'senior ' female with much 

positive reviews here and on the other website.

Did I say that I was Desperate with a capital D?

Does your post mean your Innuous server stopped working twice in 6 months? Once it stops, how long does it take to getting going again? Do you restart it? Is the software on the Innuous server up to date with all updates? Can Innuous customer support help you?

Or, are you saying your DAC stops working? My best guess it is a server issue and not the DAC. I agree that an audio system crashing is no fun but every six months is frustrating but not that bad

is it possible that an album (or streaming) you are playing is defective and that is causing the crash?

Are there any Innuous retailers in the San Francisco Bay Area that can help?  If not, call Alma Music and Audio in San Diego for help. 

A San Francisco audio shop sells Innuous.

He said no to my request to bring my server in to check ir out there. 

I have the latest version. It's unclear as to what in the chain is causing the

problem. At this point the only solution is to do what I have requested 

in my post. Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

 

 

@bander, Your original post says “ My digital system has crashed for the second time  in 6 months”.   It seems no local retailer is willing to help.  What did Innuous Customer Support say?

I suggest you provide more details of the crash including the equipment in use, what you were playing and as much other detail as possible. 

Maybe someone else on Audiogon will have a solution.
