Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode

According to its manual, the lights on the Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode should flash for only 5 minutes before going off. There's an online review which says the same thing. But on my unit, they keep blinking for hours and hours. I'm wondering - is this normal? Do any others here have the same experience?

PS I've emailed Benchmark and their sales staff replied saying their unit does the same. Am still waiting for further clarification.

I'll try to remember to let you know. I have been out of town so much lately my system has not been on in 3+ weeks.
Rory at Benchmark is the guy I have talked to. Maybe give him an email. I think his email is thru the website sales link. Good luck, John

My Benchmark DAC2 USB would on occasion do the same. I figured it was receiving an input signal from something that left it triggered on. I now have the newer DAC2 HGC there is always one light on & one light flashing. I only just hooked up the HGC and have not had time to mess with it at all other than a short listening session. I am hoping I can get the lights to go off.
