Hi all,
I recently pulled out my dac that I haven't used in a couple years due to the fact that I am getting back into headphones and wanted to see how the headphone amp sounded on it. To my surprise it sounded pretty decent except for one thing... shortly after I bought the dac, used and modded, I noticed that at certain times the dac would make high pitched shrieking noises, very ear piercing noises but only when fed signal, there was no noise when there wasn't any signal. I tried getting a hold of the guy I bought it off, but he was no where to be found. Don't get me wrong I really like the sound of this dac/head amp, I just wish I was a little more handy with a soldering iron as well as being able to trouble shoot such oddities.
My question then is is there anyone here that might want to take on the challenge of diagnosing my problem and ship it to them for a tune up or should I sell it with full disclosure to someone who is capable and willing to fix it. PM me if you are up to the challenge and we can works out a deal for shipping there and back + money for your time.
Thanks,
Dan
