Ok,Brian here we go.

AC input; 9.4v
DC large capacitor; 25 vdc
Vin-ccs current 494 mA
Tp out-Tp shunt 494 mA
V out 1.4 v ( increase a little bit when adjust current, but have to adjust very much current to increase a little bit more voltage out )
The led's light up as normal.

Thx

Are you measuring the CURRENT TP-VIN - TP-CCS? Or are you measuring the voltage (mV)?

Is the first measurement AC voltage? If so, these numbers are very strange indeed. So much so that there is something wrong with your meter.

I have measured exactly what Brian was asking for. As I have told before, I have put together an Placid BP, and it measure and works fine in my BII. But this Placid HD seems to be harder to get working properly.

I use 18vac transformer, and the large capacitor is Mundorf silver in oil, 33000uf - 40vdc. Maybe that explain the strange numbers ?

I use Mundorf 22000uf-40vdc on Placid BP, and it works like a dream.

You can estimate rectified DC voltage as Vac * 1.4. That woudl be 9.4VAC * 1.4 = 13.16V. 25VDC is way off, so something is amiss with your measurement. Do you measure DC voltage at the input?

That must be fairly easy to prove - revert to the original supplied cap and test that.

Also test the 18v from x-former when the x-former is disconnected from the Placid.

Thanks all for trying solv my problem. The Placid went up in smoke when powering up the dac, so I will order a new one and hope I have better luck next time.
Only my self to blame, and I am very satisfied with my TPA BII dac.

Tnx
