It works again! If I thought the DAC audio was not acceptable I would be tearing it apart and at least reflow that part of the board. But I got lucky and I hear no hissing and the sound is pretty good on this DAC. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GX3PP15
I got 1 foot RCA cable too, super shielded. Only $6. Pretty happy. Hopefully can keep this thing running another 5 years.
The only thing I miss is the green LED. Now it is amber because I have it on RCA input.
