Before you start: Disclaimer: you could damage or kill your DAC/amp when opening it. Use care when performing this fix and make sure discharge any static electricity on your body on a light switch or another grounded point before you start. Also, make sure to check that you L/R channels are incorrect before you attempt the fix, there are many ways to check this (Many OS have a built in way to test this in sound settings). Fixing the Amp: Step 1: Using the Torx T10 screwdriver remove larger screw (in blue) above the RCA ports and using the T6 screwdriver remove the 4 screws (in red) on the rear of the case.
