Thanks, I will give that a go if the board returns to a stable state
Late on Tuesday night...
Whilst listening to the DAC last night one of the temporary solder connections attaching the right channel lead to the coupling cap broke away.
I re-soldered the lead and at the same time decided to remove the two blobs of solder from the chip on the base of the board. I fired it up again and only the left channel works. All of the connections seem fine and both channels from my amp operate ok via a DAC MAGIC2 box.
I re-soldered the two blobs next to the chip and now the output is very quiet and extremely distorted.
This is not a good way to finish the evening!
Wednesday
Well...I have removed quite a number of the components previously added but am no further forward with regards to sound, still very distorted.
When I desoldered the small blobs from the base of the board next to the chip I think I may have damaged the solder pads (Solder is not sticking any more and they are barely visible).
Do you think I may have damaged this chip due to excessive heat? Or do you think the board is a right off?
Thanks in advance
Richard
