DCS 1394 problem

My situation is not the same. I could see the Verdi is playing fine thru its display. Tracking is not jump. It seems that the data is not picking up by the Delius. Delius displays "search.." at all time.

Hi Philip,

OK, I see what you are experiencing.

If it plays SACD sometimes, you have the right physical connections and settings.

If the Delius loses contact with the Verdi during playback, then displays "Search", it seems likely that the physical connection has an intermittent fault such as a loose joint in the 1394 cable, or one of the sockets.

I would try a different 1394 cable to eliminate that. If it's in the machine's internal connections you are obviously looking at dealer/manufacturer service.

I haven't anything similar with mine - it has never lost contact with a source after it has locked on.

Can anyone else shed some light on this?

It sounds like you have a 1394 connection problem either the cable side or the machine side.

As gtfour45 says try the cables and make sure they are not loose. Swap them around or wiggle them while the system is playing to see if it makes the DCS search for the input. Then you will know it is a connection issue.

To be clear. When I said above "swap them around or wiggle them while the system is playing" What I meant to say is swap the firewire cables around THEN play the system and while it is playing wiggle the cables to see if you have a bad connection!

Please let me know who service DCS in the US. Any information?
