how did you remove the 5-pin power connector from the board, i was able to remove everything except that one. it only goes up a little and it gets stucked. did you just use brute force? thanks for posting the pic.

I have SB2 and Z2 and have the popping issue using COAX out >> SB2 >> AMP >> speakers. i'm using the volume control of the SB2 so i can connect the D2 directly to my amp. the problem goes away if I use the OPTICAL out. it also works fine using SB2 COAX out >> Z2 >> Receiver >> speakers

Can somebody else who have popping issue try the OPTICAL input. So far (2 days straight) the popping issue disappear after switching to OPTICAL. of course this is not a complete solution, but i just want to know if the COAX input circuit is the main cause of the problem.

i also have the popping issue between tracks (and sometimes in the middle of the track) this is really frustrating and scary sometimes. i'm using Squeezebox 2 (coax) to D2 (AD module) direct to amp. i found this issue with SB2 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24070 it's...
