That Dude

^I guess, but I bought it in Singapore, 2nd hand. So I'm beating myself up for not checking thoroughly enough within the 7 days warranty the seller provided.

^If the problem is the DAC, I have no idea where to go for assistance. The only place I can think of is Pacific Valve but shipping from Singapore would cost my remaining arm and leg.

I've tried swapping the tubes but the imbalanced persisted on the left channel. My attenuator is parked at around 10 O'clock, but, I've removed my DV332 and connected the DAC directly to my tomahawk. Hence, ruling out my amp being the problem child. I could try the multimeter test, but any ideas on where to get the 1kHz tone? Thanks!

I've recently bought a Lite DAC-39 second hand. At that time I did not have a proper coaxial line-out cable so I substituted it with a box-standard rca cable. I got imbalanced sound. So I bought a Zu audio Firemine and I thought the problem went away. But upon closer analysis, the problem persists in a different form. The left channel of the unbalanced output sounds "out of phase" the highs are pretty decent but the mids and bass are washed out. The right channel on the other hand is full bodied and sounds fantastic. I've troubleshooted my entire system and the problem definitely lies with the DAC. Both coaxial and optical inputs produce the same imbalance. I have already had the DAC with me for over 2 months, so I guess the seller would be less than willing to believe me when I say I've just noticed the problem. (Even though I did, cause I've been doing casual listening on my speakers and simply chalked up the imbalance to mastering, since the vocals are still dead centre) I need help guys. Thanks.

I LOVE to hate Morris Marinas! But by far, the season premiere was one of their weakest episodes... They should have started with episode 2 with the trance music and all...

I'm in the "listens to everything phase". Buty I listen mostly to styles I drum to, so as I progressed skill wise, I went out of the "pop/punk" phase (couple of years ago) and into the "prog" phase. I'm the man with a thousand phases.
