you can use any freeware for this simple routings, like eagle with free license (free license has restrictions to non-commercial use only) ...
or opensource kicad (no restrictions), but follow youtube tutorials otherwise you will get struggle
~this is what can be seen in the photo.
I have blobbed together the two inputs and had connected to ground, with a resistance.
But Miro's config is better and requires the same space, topology arrangement.!
More: what is hidden in the picture:
Should prepare the pads before placement:
With thin wire, beneath chip, connect:
Pin1 - pin6;
Pin7 - pin8;
Cover with tape : pin5; pin6; pin7
Place and solder the chip in 5 places:
Pin 1,2,3,4, 8.
On the remaining 3 free pins :
Solder pin7 - pin6;
Connect pin5 to ground. (Miro config)

Thank you JosephK for that link. I believe it is a very good solution for someone not having AD1862 yet or want to have a sota sorted out PCM63P with the K grade. Anyway with all the chips I have as for the tda1541A late Singapor years and a Cron one, AD1865K -certainly a false K as bought on an Ebay kit 10 years ago in China to a famous lady at that times- + my genuine Rochesters + the two last I bought yet for the Miro1360's cool DAC... I should buy myself ears
With Rochester be aware the price is almost doubling cause DHL VAT + Customs fees. Calculated on the total amount purchased at Rochester so no vlume synergy but the moq of course.

just received 2 more N-J from hifi-szjxic. one measures 0.0012%, the second one 0.0014% TDH+N. So as the DS states. He still has the last one
