The unit itself must be made of excellent parts,it has never failed to operate for me. I also have the power station 2, the best,lucky me. The digital readout in red is very visible,precise and and the readout in actual db's is a professional feature. With the remote you can easily set balance and volume-it has lots of gain. No front panel controls means no switches for signal degredation such as bass or treble.
Balance is handled digitally by offset attenuation scaling.
Two sets of line pre-outs which make it handy for running one set to main amps, while other set runs a sub etc. 4 sets of inputs. This was AA's best power supply offered. AA devices with supplied cords. To use the DLC without a PS-2 is not giving it a fair shot.
