ZRock2 Bypass Switch Question
04/27/23 at 14:57:04
 

Yesterday I installed Denafraps Gaia DDS to my Pontus II DAC; more on that great outcome later. In the process, I lost the functioning of the ZRock2. This issue is separate from Gaia, I think.

When the Bypass Switch on the ZRock is in one direction, I hear music, but when I move the switch to the other position - nothing. The sound is OK in Bypass mode, but when switched to operational mode, the ZRock does not seem to work. I did change the tube, but that did not solve the issue.

Any ideas? I thought I would call Steve, but maybe there is a solution that someone can suggest. I searched but have yet to find a solution.

Thanks,
Tony

I had the same issue with mine. Turned out to be a broken wire courtesy of FedEx. Is your tube glowing? If not, have you already checked your fuse?

Good luck with whatever is wrong with it, Tone. Drew had to send his back for a broken wire as I recall. It is not just the repair you would get, but a good once over to make sure that everything else is good.
