Well, as it outputs mono, a short between the channels was suspected - hence the idea to measure the resistance between the channels rather than against ground.

If it outputs combined L+R mono or one channel mono must be verified.

An out-of-phase signal (CD phase test) becomes silent.

On the 1921, what command/setting can produce mono?

Manual says:
set par=value set paramter to value, set alone to show
conspeed = 9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 57600 | 115200
volume = fixed -80 - +10, line output startup volume
filter = linear | mixed | minimum | soft
mode = normal | parallel

Confirmed that both channels are mixed to mono as the test track "this is left channel", "this is right channel" is both audible but centred between the loudspeakers i.e. mono. The center test is OK, the out-of-phase test becomes silent.

It was loaded with this filter:

+ a few biquads not showing here.

No crossfeed is a function added in dac1421/dac1541, and the dam1941 is based on the dac1541 so it support crossfeed.

For those who don't know crossfeed, it's a function to be used with headphones to reduce the with of the soundstage to simulate speakers. The dac1541/dam1941 do it using digital filters that mixed the two channels.

Try google if you need more info.

Correct, the first 8 biquads is reserved for the crossfeed so there is only 7 left for the user. I didn't expect that to be a problem, but if needed I can add a software switch to disable to crossfeed function.

Where can I find a 1941 FW/filter file? I would like to factory reset my DAC please?

The filter file is on the website, new firmware will come up very soon.
