Topic: babyface pro fs issues hardware .... I guess

all of a sudden my right XLR output on the BBF stopped working.
output level display is showing correct.
Headphone output is working correct.
I'm afraid it's some hardware thing.
Out of warranty of course .
any idea ?

Swapped cables to make sure it's this specific output? If so, please contact the retailer or local distributor for service options.

Sent the BBF to my retailer to get an RMA. quote for repair is 432 euros !!!
No other explanation. I think that's ridiculous. What if it is a component failure from the manufacturer.
I mean, I own several RME and other interfaces. I have 30 years of experience in digital hardware. I know how to deal with this and I don't remember I abused the BBF

What is your expectation for repair ?

for me, out of warranty means I get to look inside the box smile

although, I've read posts that opening up a BBF isn't as easy to the uninitiated as it may appear

at least a detailed report instead of just a quote.
Then I can start brainstorming.

Where exactly did you send the BF Pro to? Got a serial number?
