Is it true, I realize the firmware updates stop at Sunlight for the DS Jr., but are the parts still serviceable, thnks

My DSD jr developed a buzz back in November and I was told no parts were available. They couldn’t repair it and they didn’t want it returned in trade.

Gotcha!, only reason I ask is TMR won’t even make an offer due to they say as of last year PSA will not support repairs therefore they can not purchase it, it’s a shame considering the unit is in brand new condition with latest firmware available with less the 50 hours before boxed up, I will try it…

What??!! I have a Jr. that I need to work forever! It is my all time favorite DAC!!! Sadness!!

I replaced mine with one of the refurbed Mk1s they had on sale back in November.

As stated in my second reply my DS Jr. is in mint condition, only reason I asked was TMR will not purchase due to the fact PSA does not support repairs as of last year apparently, reason given was, “Hi Kevin, Thank you for pointing that out—I took some time to ask a few more questions on my end, a…

Good info. I wonder while reading the above can a Jr owner open the box and remove bridge/card and mitigate the problem? I remember reading the bridge card(s) are the heat producers due to power required.

Is it true, Directstream Jr. no longer supported by PSA as far as parts go!
