I have just stumbled across my first portable amp - a Total Bithead. I used this daily for about 6 months with my ipod, but barely used the DAC part (I did test it worked before stuffing it in a bag).
Today the DAC only has sound out of the left channel but using the line in both channels work, so somewhere between the PCM2900 and AD8397 the right channel gets lost. I've got it apart and everything looks fine but I can only get access to one side of the PCB which might not be helping.
Can anyone help me with which pins are audio out (specifically right, if it's standard...) or confirm that the dot on the chip is at the end with pin 1? Any other advice would be appreciated, this will be a good learning experience before my next build (the CK²III was too easy, didn't learn any debugging skills
)
Thanks in advance
