I figure you have more insight on this item. So, if you've read this far and choose to humor me, my question would be if you have enough familiarity following the dac paths and if so could you narrow down my potential repair items by these symptoms or is taking off the lid not worth my time. I hate when i get started and then cant fix something. Otherwise It serves my old brain better to buy a used working unit rather than get too frustrated by a difficult repair. I'm not at all familiar with the signal path from dac to fire-wire and adat output?Īs a retired EE I would bill my time at 50.00/hr so anything over 10 hours I consider a loss unless it's fun or not too frustrating. So wo opening the lid, i think i can deduce there is a problem somewhere in the sapphire 40 chan4 dac to adat digital injection path. Channel 4 vol level indication is present on the sapphire 40 front panel leds and I can hear chan 4 in my sapphire 40 headphone monitors The Channel 4 vol level indication is present on the sapphire mixer gui when I connect via fire wire on a separate computer which i use to reconfigure the sapphire mixer hardware with preset hardware files for mixer/adat connections from focusrite online tutorials. And I also can't hear chan 4 in my rme raydat mixer or the adat return path back to my sapphire 40 10] headphone out. But Recently I noticed Its missing all channel 4 volume level indication on my rme mixer's gui software. It worked for months, great low delay ms. I'm using adat in/out to connect it with my new rme raydat pcie card and mixer software. I bought My Sapphire pro 40, the same year as yourself guitar center for $499. I fixed my 2007 Vizio TV a few years back thanks to a youtube video and a $2.00 12V power transistor, so i googled sapphire repair and found your blog and here I go again looking for a cheap way to fix my old sapphire 40.
