Got the PCM2707 in. Replaced it. Triple checked for bridges, both visually and continuity testing. Tested the continuity from the pins to the trace points. Everything looked and tested perfect.
After plugging in, I first noticed the LED flickering and then the regulator was getting very hot. Unplugged. Traced and checked ALL of the components for shorts...twice. Nothing.
Plugged back in check the voltages. Before I could start measuring, smoke starts coming from the PCM chip. Fried again!!!
A bunch of the pins are grounded now on the PCM that were definitely not before so definitely fried. I have another PCM (was intended for a PupDAC build) but I don't trust the board at this point and removing this PCM this time has wrecked the anchor points.
I refuse to give up and I going to order a new board from Beezer (along with a PupDAC PCB, future project) and I am going to place a reorder for the components at mouser. One problem is that the Crystek Oscillator is no longer stocked at Mouser. Can someone suggest a alternative or maybe Tom has one he can sell to me and add to my PCB order when I place it?
