Hello,
I currently own an MSB Gold link with P1000 power base. Although your experienced did not happen to me as exactly as you described, there were several times that the MSB power light was the only thing "on" on my DAC and the unit does not work or register an input source(i.e. toslink or RCA ;AES/EBU is a different case of course). This happens when there's a power surge or if you accidentally turn off the DAC while the inputs are active( just powered on, not necessarily playing!). The culprit of this is that whenever a power surge occurs, or a power interruption takes place on the DAC, the unit will automatically resets to analog bypass(relays will set to normally close inside the unit). The only thing you can do is to power-off everything and wait for about a minute (until the relay resets) and plug it back on again. Once you plug it on, you should hear the relays click again (meaning it detects inputs on its input terminals). This is normal with the MSBs. I doubt it if there's damage to your unit. I observe this several times when I re-arrange cables, power strips, power cords, etc. but so far, my DAC still works flawlessly!
