AOSHIDA SMSL C200 Review (DAC & Amp)

"Mine has been running all day for 9 months and quite a few hours a day for three months, and nothing has happened to it."
I've had it for 3-4 years."

My C200 just died today. Was using it yesterday, now it won't turn on.

With all these C200 dying, has anyone figured out what is happening to them so we can repair it? Would be shame to just throw them away if a part replacement is all it needs.

SMSL site says: unplug from power cord; hold power button in for 20 seconds; replace cord; push power button in for at least 3 seconds. Tried. Didn't work for me.

Unfortunately none of that did anything for me. I guess I replace it with a cheap USB dongle since I only listen to IEMs now anyways.

But if anyone knows a reliable repair shop for audio gear in Toronto, I would like to see if this can be repaired and continued to be used instead of being pointless thrown in a landfill.
