I bought a Little Dot MK8 SE back in August. I was happy with it and listened to it daily.
Just two days ago in the afternoon, I lost all audio output from it. I made several attempts to resolve the issue that all failed. There was absolute silence from both PHONES1 and PHONES2 output jacks. I powered it off then removed the bottom panel to see one visible burnt and damaged resistor at the top center of the circuit board. I also noticed burn damage on the same circuit board on a solder joint indicating component damage on the opposite side of the same circuit board. My unit died after only two months of usage.
It's covered under warranty and shipped for repair now. I am surprised by this failure though with such short usage time.
I am curious on the general reliability of these headphone amps. Can these units withstand the test of time?
