I still have a dual tandem setup running. I did replace both internal batteries, and one internal fan. I don't recommend a fan replacement if your anger threshold is low. It's in a very tight place, hard to get at for some reason lol.

My boards power up and say (c) 2000. Still sounds fantastic for older digital technology.

Yes!! Got mine back in ?99 and have used it everyday since. I got a replacement so i could have 2 working boards about 3 years ago now tgey both have sone issues. Who still works on these?

I'm really happy to find this forum still available... Thanks.


I too replaced battery no problems. Now I need to fix a channel fader that does not respond properly and on calibration just flies to the top and stays there

Well, as of today 10.2.2023 this board that started in June 1998 is almost 25 years, 4 months old. Wow. Let's see how much longer we can keep it going!

I still have my DA7 but don't use it much.

Hi everyone I'm a recent proud owner of 2 DA7 with the aim to record and mix my songs.
I plan to cascade both of them together as I don't have a tandem card so I'll use an AES/EBU cable out of one into the other, has anyone ever done this?

I still lurk occasionally. I'm about out to dig my DA7 out of storage and mate it with a Pro Tools HD4 rig running XP & PT HD 8.1.1. Setting up at a friends house to record an album. Wish I had Max software for PC. I've got Max for Mac and a PowerMac 9600 to run it but have no. lea where it is.

Im the new guy, trying to figure out if this will work for me, seems like great gear.
