Sabaj DA3 Dual ES9018Q2M DAC Internal Pics

Have been using this tiny dac for a couple months now. I am very, very impressed with it. Dual chips with balanced output and Xmos XU208. All for less than $100. Unbelievable. Better than my Dragonfly Red.

I opened it up and took some pics. Thought I'd share.

Hi @wushuliu ,

I have Sabaj DA3 and my 2.5 mm jack is not working. When I hold the 2.5 mm pin in a certain direction, it works.

Looks like the solder joint got broken. I tried opening the DAC but could not.

As you have already opened it in the past, can you please help on how you opened the DAC, so that I can fix the soldering.

Please help.

Regards,

Amit
