Bringing up old post cause I now have the same problem, except that my DC-2 also gave off strong burnt electric fumes. Does this still mean the power supply? I have put together several pc's so replacing it seems within my capabilities.
Lexicon MC-1; DC-1 Power supplies
Has anyone else had a power supply die in their Lexicon MC-1, or DC-1 or 2?
It's happened to me twice now. They use what appears to me to be a pretty cheap switching power supply. Lexicon won't service these units for less than $600 (though for that they do a complete refurb). I had my DC-1 repaired a couple of years ago by local reputable shop and it cost $200.
I love the units for home theater. They sound great and are very user friendly for setup and control, but wonder about the reliability.
Am I just unlucky?
