When is Flex eight going to be stable? 

I am sitting here and working with development of speakers, measuring, trying to level or balance a tone curve or whatever… and the flex eight is really doing it impossible instead of being what it is supposed to be. 
Crashing very often of unknown reasons (critical error it says) and 
out of the blue, distorted sound…comes and goes.. after a new saved preset or just after nothing is done. This is a catastroph for my work. 

This is really a terrible buy. 

I know for sure it is not me doing something wrong. I use peq and I do turn down the input gain by the same amount of dB or slightly more. 
One day all is fine and the next day it’s f***ed up again. I am freaking out on this..yes.. don’t know what to do.. 

I am pretty sure there is a lot of people who has the same problem, but if you play at a low volume it not certain you notice the distortion. 

The distortion is all over the tone curve. 

and no, I have not contacted the support. They really don’t seem to bother. Last time I was treated like I was a complete idiot and I really don’t have the time to work as an unpaid worker for MiniDSP. 

Why introduce a product that obviously is nowhere near ready for a customer?

If you're freaking out about it and you won't contact tech support, it seems your choice is obvious.

Just to check, are you reducing the input level by the peak of the summed response of all filters, rather than say the maximum individual filter boost?
