In the latest revision of the DAC+, what exactly needs to be done to connect an external power supply to just the DAC+?

 

Seems there was a resistor that needed to be removed, and possibly a pin on the header?

  Doh!  Maybe I'll see about returning my Dac+ then.

  Is Rpi powered via DAC+ with this recommend method ? or should I still power Rpi up separately ?
  
  Thanks

  Greetings HiFiBerry, do you have an updated link for the the support page linked above?

  Could you recommend a particular connector, or connection method (if not direct solder), for the 5V external power pins on the Dac+ Pro?

  Thank you.
