Something is wrong with your AVCC shunt module.


Brian and/or Russ can you help me out? And a happy new year of course :)

Check your solder joint's - in the pics they look dry.

I resoldered all joints, but it did not seem to make any difference so far.

SRA2 joints

new joints other side


I measured on the AVCC from the in/out/gnd joint to the first resistor/capacitor on the track and they were all ok.

I measured voltages again, the same as before (a bit higher):

On the side where SRA2 is printed in the board:

5,29V IN and 5,29 OUT

On the other side

5,29 in 2,4 V OUT.

I will resolder tomorrow once and measure all, just to be sure.

please measure the voltage across D1, R4 and R5.

D1 = 0,98V
R4 = 3 mV
R5 = 283 mV

Sounds like you probably have a dead transistor or two - and possible D1 too.

Your best bet unless you feel like replacing parts until you find the borked one is to order a replacement. :)

Thanks, what parts do you supect/advice to be replaced?
Do you have part numbers? I think it might be worth the try?

Honestly - its probably more worth while to get the newer AVCC module anyway - it's a better circuit, but if you are intent on trying to fix it - I would say you might need to replace the following (in order of what to try first)

QP1-2 (BC856) (they are cheap so get a few extra in case QP3-4 are also dead)
D1 (once again order a few)

possibly the opamp (use OPA2209)

And it brings an increased sonic performance to the DAC. It's a very worthwhile upgrade.

(I'm not connected to TPA in any other way than being a satisfied customer).
