E.A.D. in trouble?

They are out of business but you can get parts and service through "Noble Electronics can Service, Upgrade and Modify most EAD products - Amps, Processors, and CD & DVD players. We have over 15 years of experience in the design, manufacturing, repair and testing of all the EAD products. We were all members of the original EAD (Fairfield Iowa usa) R&D and Production team."
I have used them and they are first class. They can extract even more from these great units han when produced.

Do some research. I had EAD in the past, great stuff. There was a ton of discussion about this around 2.5 years ago. They are in fact as Indy reported out of business.

They are now out of business. Sad but true. An end of an error and a great company.

They have been purchased by Alpha Digital Technology and Tara LAbs. New web site is alphadigitaltech.com

Where have you heard that they have problems?

Take a look at their web site at www.eadcorp.com. They are offering new processors, upgrades and dvd players. This doesn't sound like a company that is in trouble.
