Re: Fun with the X32
If an assembly process results in premature failure of a device, that is a quality control issue. Saying that the assembler had no way of knowing they screwed up just shows that the manufacturing process was flawed. Yeah, it's cheaper to do it that way, but when it cuts down on reliability, that's the problem.
The concern I have with what I'm reading is that there are a fair number of posts cropping up where boards are having weird issues OUT OF THE BOX. These things should have been caught and taken care of at the factory. Yes, demand is high right now, and I'm sure they are pushing out a huge number of boxes, but if quality control is not there, that's a problem.
Testing every console completely would most definitely add to the cost of production, so I guess it's understandable to have a few lemons out of the gate, and I'm sure manufacturing processes will be improved over time to lessen the failures. Still, every board that leaves the factory with issues solidifies Behringer's previous reputation that they are trying to leave behind.
