And what I have posted is for the JLSounds stacked Ad1862, whereby the glue logic chips are skipped because the i2s to pcm is done by the JLSounds. this is what voxxonline is configuring for his project. Really has to depend on how one wants to use the Dac to choose appropriate configuration on the JLSounds board.
Ehm... Guys... I thinks I shot the two DAC Ic... Was wiring things in the new case...
What test can I do to tell if they're ok?

Just keep them away on the complicate DAC to check them on a simple V1.3 with a simple standalone single DIP8 op amp. There is a good chance it is not the ad1862 while th output is not diodes protected inside.

pull away the two dac1862 you believe to be dead to test them on a simple 1.3 V Board with op amp output in order to check. You have two pcb boards, no ?
That's the simpliest way, but maybe you haven't both pcbs already populated ? My understanding is the tube version was the second one you made ?
Cause it could be the front end or the output if not the ad1862 chips. Maybe with your tube you keeped the DIL8 socket clean ? It could be anything like the CCS, etc ! So better first to try to check the AD1862s away from that DAC.

Output stage works, there's sound when I inject signal.
Scoped lrck, bck and data, they're there.
Voltages are ok.
I populated only the first board, not a second one.

It is. But I run into a problem with the amp which I need to rectify first. Unexpected one
I tested well coaxial, which quite strangely is better than optical. For usb I didn't focus on sound quality, was doing some testing
I'd trade amanero for Xing U30. It's noticeably better. Please compare usb and spdif inputs.
