Question for the hive mind
Chord Qute DAC stopped working suddenly. Disconnected and reconnected the 12v DC power supply, it worked but I could feel a hum when touching the metal case. Disconnected the power supply and it disappeared. DAC has an earth on the back so I connected this to the amp, turned back on, tested a cd, all working very nicely then 20s later BANG with an arc between the amp and DAC power plugs (sockets next to each other), a burning smell and a dead DC power supply.
Don't have another to test, but does anyone have any thoughts/opinions? Do you think there is something wrong with the DAC or is it just the power supply?
