Do you have VA connected to a supply?

VA and VD are different supplies with a common ground. The capacitance multiplier ramps up within a few seconds according to simulation and multimeter testing, as the most there is is a 47 ohm resistor between supply voltage and the capacitor.


A few seconds is far too long. It should be a few tenths. Actually much less would be better.

Also VA and VD need to start in synch.

VA is connected to a supply. However, there is almost no voltage at L2, L3, or L4. I'm far from an expert, but wouldn't this suggest a bad voltage regulator? It might matter to the DAC, but it shouldn't matter to the regulator how long it takes to come on.

What is the measured voltage(running) at VA?

If your VD supply is capable of supplying the current try just connecting VD to VA and don't use the second supply.

Does there appear to be a short to ground at VRA output with the power off?

Why, yes there does. Resistance dips down to 1.3 Ohms but not stable due to moving voltmeter leads. Not on VRD, however.

Interesting, ok, well could be a shorted cap or load or a dead VREG.
