I've got a valab dac and the resistor in the left channel has caused a "hum" in only that channel at high volumes. I replaced it with a cheap radioshack resistor as a test and the problem went away. My question is what happend to this resistor (it's a PRP 330 Ohm). I did not realize resistors could "go bad" like this? Did i overheat it? just a bad part? it's strange.
