Just picked up a DBX 480 and it was sold with 2 issues
1) works but it shows the error "synching to DB", and
2) "it doesn't remember changes when you shut down and turn back on"
Snip
Thanks!

I used to maintain about 20 or 30 of these DBX Driverack 480s, 481 and 482s between a couple of production companies, several installed at venues and smaller local operators. They all kind of had their own quirks between the different models but I do recall a few DR480s that wouldn't "remember" the settings. Sometimes a battery change would solve the problem but there was one that kept coming back with a dead battery and no settings loaded. That one was a mystery and eventually always left the shop with a laptop loaded with DriveWare and a serial adapter in a case.
Eventually they all became unreliable in some way and we lost confidence in the 480 series and they were replaced. Too many nearly show stopping failures. Mind you, most of them had worked for 12-15 years by that point but still it seemed like a higher failure rate than similar Ashly units.
TLDR: If someone said they were having problems I would believe it.
