It does not happen all the time (eg right now it is fine but it is morning here in Aus and I've just started listening) but when it does, it then happens for the entire listening session, hence the idea it may be a dry solder / heat soak but I'm just guessing.

Hi Nathan,

Since you have one of the latest amplifiers, I think the issue might be a high output level from your DAC. The Audiobyte amp has a limiter circuit to protect the speakers from being overdriven, and it can exhibit the behavior you're seeing. Can you try and reduce the volume level of the DAC (might have to be done at the computer) and then compensate by increasing the volume level on the Audiobyte amp? Let me know if this clears up the fading.

Thanks,

Andrew
