When I measure the shunt current across R3 I get 60ma, but when I play music (spdif from pc sound card), the shunt current instantly drops to 30ma, with or without an amplifier connected. The voltage is constant at 5.45, everything sounds fine, just wondering if this is normal.
Thanks
Dave

Just did another measurement, with the volumite turned all the way down, the current acrosss r3 is 50ma, with the volume turned up all the way, the current is 30ma. (no load connected to dac outputs)

I turned up the current across r8 to 360ma and now the shunt current is constant at 50ma across r3. It's probebly just me but i swear it sounds better :)
