Benchmark does have a 5 year warranty, If I remember correctly.
Why does my Benchmark DAC-1 keep blowing fuses?
I have a Benchmark DAC-1 (original version). It's a stock unit except for a Cardas Golden Reference Power Cord I have been using on the unit for 2 years without problems. The PC is running into a Panamax Max 1000 Power Filter AC filter, which is running into a PS Audio Power Port (original version).
I recently had a power surge in my home. All of my equipment survived without even any other blown fuses, except for the Benchmark. After the surge I noticed that the Benchmark does not have power. I tried plugging it in to anothe outlet but nothing. I pulled out the fuse tray and saw that the fuse was blown. The unit takes .5 amp 250 volt slow-blow fuses. I bought equivalents at Radio shack and powered up the unit. The replacement fuses immediately blew.
Is there another fuse I should try or should I assume the unit needs custom repair work?
