Following the loss of output from my ZenITH, yesterday I had to revert to my CCA and FiiO Taishan for streaming Duties (god it don't half sound shite after the BI/ZenITH combo).
Sense App was working but was taking a long time that find the DAC and when I hit play either from Qobuz or RP the track would just run for 3 - 9 seconds before returning to 0 though with no audio output, I also swapped usb cables with no joy.
Today a friend brought round a CDT & AudioLab M Dac to check things out.
ZenITH > usb > BI = Silence
CDT via Coax & Opt > BI = All sounded good
ZenITH > usb > M Dac = All good
RP on laptop > M Dac = All good
RP on laptop > BI = NO, sound would only output to laptop speakers.
Changing usb cables = same results as above.
So it looks like the usb module in my BI has fooked of into the sunset. Have contacted Robert Ayers (original Jolida/BI importer + pimper) and told him I'm sending it to him for repair which could be a, long wait if a replacement digital board has to be be sourced from the US.
Now trying to bum an extended usb dac loan off someone as no ££s + need to save for the BI repair.
