Topic: My new UA-5 unusable! Noise problem (with MP3 of noise!)

[aberg]

Nice man... glad this worked out!

[creekfreak]

ouch...at least you got it working again....sure you paid a premium taking it to a show like that

UPDATE:  Well, after High Sierra Music Fest, the UA-5 is acting up again.  Now, when fed a digital signal, the sound stops and the power light just blinks.  It *seems* to still work just fine as an ADC, but I wonder if I can really trust it if the DAC functionality doesn't work.     I'm frustrated that I dumped $140 into it and it's still just a lemon.

i would talk to busman2 and see if he has any ideas
at this point you put so much into it you would prob be better off getting a new one anyway but he might have knowledge you help you out

well I didn't listen to your tapes, but I know that with mine, sometimes the wire that connects the two spots on the digimod just comes apart... I dunno why my friend can't soldier it well.  I get mad noise when that happens.  Have your friend look over the digimod.  If you bought the thing brand new, and all your friend did was cut the trace and solder the two points, you shouldn't have had to replace anything.  $140 is wayy too much.

Your now being bit by SCMS---good ol copy protection.  I freaked out when I tried to pull some audio from my DVD player into my UA-5 and it did the same thing.  A look through the manual solved that one for me.
