I am brand new here.  Please advise if I am not following protocol.  I was moving some connections around on my Gustard DAC-X20 andn now it does not read any of them.

it there a reset jumper or anything that anyone knows of?   Thanks in advance.

That doesn't sound good.  Have you tried unplugging for 30 seconds or so and then replug in? and try.  Another option uninstall driver, reboot then re-install driver.  There is no reset switch on dac.  You are selecting the input that the device is connected to correct?

@Quadman Thank you for responding.  Everything is fine now.  I may not had it unplugged long enough the first time, so your 30 second solution may be the correct one.  However  let me add what I did do so if it comes up again you can reference my experience.

 

I flipped the 110 220 switch a couple of times.  I removed the cover and detached the ribbon power cables to the each of the 2 boards. 

Put back together and it was ok   My thinking  with the ribbon cable was that there was " flea power" being transmitted enough to hold a bad setting.  As an audiophile you may be able to hear me grasping at straws.  LOL  I did not want to have to buy a New DAC.  At about 900.00 bucks, that's a lot for a working stiff .  Anyways thanks for your response.  I hope to be back soon and hopefully contribute; if only my opinion.  Take care

Well good job, most people would never open the dac and do what you did.  I was the first person to get this dac to play DSD512 way back.  I used a third party USB to I2S board and tapped into the dac's internal I2S lines (this was before the Singxer SU-1 and other DDC's could do that).  Also preformed some heavy mod's to the dac which greatly improves its SQ. It is a very good sounding dac and from all my probing it almost bombproof.  Good Luck.
