Hi Guys,

I received my dac yesterday and soldeed it.
tried to play some stuff on volumio and it works well .... on one speaker

BUT if take half of the white rca out so only the center pin is plugged (doesn't touch the outside female rca sleeve) it does play on both speakers

Any ideas ?
(please excuse my english)

Thanks guys for helping

  Hi,
  
  I'm not sure if I understand it correctly. Is there a loose connection on one RCA jack?
  
  Best regards

  Hi,
  
  sorry let me try to explain another way.
  
  One speaker/RCA works without any worries but the second one I have to push the jack only half way.
  
  if the male rca is fully seated in the DAC's female RCA i get no sound.
  If the male rca is only half inside the dac's rca i get sound in the second speaker.

  This is very strange. Can you try another cable?

  Well I tried and it persist.
  I ordered another DAC from you I'll you know.
  But I am skeptic.
  
  I do not know how to desolder the DAC from the pi for testing purpose.
