DAC AD1862: Almost THT, I2S input, NOS, R-2R

Thanks @zoom777 and @eclipsevl. Added Pin 9, removed J4 and closed J3 and J6. Now on to fixing the negative rail of shunt regulator powering D1 output, the final task before first full fire-up. Appreciate your help!
Fired it up. Plays music. But only through the Left channel. Measured AC voltage out from the D1 RCA's out, I can see a half volt on the left and negligible on the left. Thinking I may still not have the JLS I2s over USB pins correct.

Resolved dead left channel. My error, neglected to solder the # nine female receiver header pin on the underside of the DAC board. Next step, burn in and optimization. Need to try changing R4 on the D1 from 1k8R to max 2kR, as my system is low gain.

For R I/V I recommend the 3.01k Dale RN55D. For the output resistor, the same Dale 22ohm.
He is using NP D1. Such a drastic change will affect the operation of the other area of the circuit, and there are other resistors to be changed in the correct ratio. Iirc, there is also a need to raise the bipolar voltage to somewhere like 40V to maintain the drain current of the MOSFETs to allow higher IV resistors.
