Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre!


So I ran into a weird issue with my Brooklyn DAC. 

I'm in heavily air conditioned environment with a carpet. If I accidentally spark the volume knob, the remote control setting goes nuts. If I attempt to change the volume via the remote the Mytek will automatically go to maximum possible volume! Good thing my tweets can take power. :) 

The only way to fix it after this is to unplug the power, wait 30 seconds, and reset the remote settings. 

Really not an ideal situation.

I had a similar issue with the a brand new Brooklyn+ bought from an NYC dealer (I'll leave that anonymous for the time being).  The thing would play fine for a short time, and sooner or later loud static and pops would come through.  At times, ear piercing volume spikes would occur.  

The unit was basically inoperable, and I took it back to the store and they found no issues with it.  I tried the device with multiple amps, in multiple rooms, on multiple speakers. 

Fast forward several months, still no refund.  At the time of purchase in March, I also got a Mytek Clef...though that has never arrived. 

For pricey enough equipment, this is unacceptable.  The patriarch at Mytek has plenty to improve on.
