Unfortunately just missing out a couple of steps for some of us:Originally Posted by Stratmangler
Just cut one leg and lift the cap away without removing it. If you want to put the cap back in circuit then a blob of solder on the cut should suffice.
Not ideal, but a damned sight easier than removing the circuit board and desoldering the joint, replacing the cap etc.

1) Buy a soldering iron & solder
2) Work out how to use it
3) Practice before risking it on the DAC
Dave & Jerry, I eagerly await your reports back if you do the snip - before doing something that's so difficult to undo I need as much input as possible!
