[QUOTE="Orcish75, post: 1031249, member: 21448"] Firstly, I assume you've tried a different USB cable? Being a 2nd hand DAC, the previous owner might have abused it a bit, the DAC may have fallen off the table and landed on the USB cable, thus causing the USB socket to pull away from the PCB tracks on the DAC. Usually an easy way to check for that is to put a bit of weight (not a heavy wieght, something like an old cell phone) on the USB cable where it connects into the DAC and see if it makes a better connection. If that is the case, someone reasonably proficient with a soldering iron should be able to fix it easily enough for you. Hopefully there isn't more severe damage from power spikes or some other abuse. [/QUOTE]
