Berkeley CA audiophile is desperate need of help

Hello. My digital system has crashed for the second time

in 6 months. I have been in touch with my DAC

and server companies. What I really need to do

is connect my Innuous server to another DAC or another

DAC to my server. I contacted 2 local brick and morter

shops in the hopes that I could bring in my server to rule our

a problem with it. An Innuous dealer said no. Is there any

one near by who could give me a hand. Might I come to you

with my DAC and hook it up, or might you come to me

with server and or DAC? I am happy to compensate

for one's time. I am a 'senior ' female with much

positive reviews here and on the other website.

Did I say that I was Desperate with a capital D?

If so, and it seems to work, then your problem is either: 1) Internet; 2) The server; 3) the hand off from server to DAC. Servers are networking computers that are gussied up to look like audio components. They are subject to the same foibles that computers are. Have you ever had a computer that was working fine and suddenly doesn’t “see” something, such as a printer? The first step is to power everything down and then restart them. If that doesn’t work after a few tries, then it may be that a software update in the server, or the DAC, may have “bricked” these two components
