[BC] Low cost analog to AES3 converter?

[James B. Potter]

Gents:  

Here's why:  Having worked in electronics factories for years, I can tell
you that the costs for depot repair facilities and the related service
personnel, manuals, procedures, training, and spare parts inventory are
astronomical.  It's only worth it for high-end products.  Berheinger sells a
wide variety of electronic products at astoundingly cheap prices.  I have
numerous little audio boards at on the job at radio stations and churches
around the country.  Average price: about $34 at Guitar Center.  Even the
higher functional boards are still cheap by any standard -- you couldn't buy
the parts for their full list prices.  Therefore, Berhinger products are
throw-away items.  Door stops, if you can't find a patent lawyer.  Just buy
another one -- better yet, buy some spares while you're at it -- and
quityerbitchin'

>Service is not one of their missions.

Berhinger is a *sales* company. Except for warranty repairs which you send
back, customer support for them is an afterthought.
