Topic: Firmware 27/34 killed my ADI-2 DAC unit?

I recently ran the RME USB Series Flash Tool and it installed 27/34. the install finished successfully. Now my ADI-2 (original) DAC will not start up. The power button just blinks red.

Any way to reset it to the original firmware or anything? Any ideas?

FW 27/34?  Who released that? 

The last firmware revision shown in the Stickies is 27/33.   Works fine.

Refer to Pgs 10/11 of your User Manual for guidance as to restoring your ADI-DAC to its Factory State.

Right, the last sticky say 27/33, but the firmware program install 27/34.

Can't reset using button1 and volume; nothing happens. Probably because the red light is flashing :-(

Support says the unit has to be sent back to Germany. Not good. I hope this won't be too expensive.
