hi all,
so i'm assembling a usb dac. i've rigged a power supply w/ a radioshack transformer. the dac works but ....
my 5V regulator gets awfully hot. also, i measure 5A passing back to ground! that seems really high.
or is it normal? i've really psyched that this thing works, but is it currently drawing far too much power? should i be looking for a short?
thanks!
