Hi All,
Recently I purchased:
MF X-can, X-dac, X-10, X-ray, X-150, X-psu.
Sound was great, but the components just didn't like me. I ran into many problems:
1. X-ray wouldn't connect optically to the x-dac using certain cables. the only ones that would hold lock were the cheap $10 ones. QED and AudioQuest optilink-3 wouldn't hold lock.
2. Things would rattle inside the components
3. X-psu made a humming sound like a outdoor power transformer
4. The x-cans made reverberation noises when things were touched on the cabinet, or phones plugged in. Even the opening and closing of the X-ray cd tray was heard through my HD650's.
5. The software/ firmware on the X-ray was very dodgy.
6. I was sold exdemo and used components and told they were new. Even when complaining of used products, they exchanged them for the same units I previously returned (now with extra tape on the box :M )
7. X-ray had scratched cd trays.
8. X-dac started humming loudly in the right channel.
Has any members ran into similar problems?? Sometimes I felt like these components were manufactured in someones garage, because Quality Assurance was not there!!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thankx,
NeutralMAN
