Would you trust a DAC manufacturer who reverses left and right channels?I returned WyreStorm Express™ Digital to Analogue Audio Converter with Dolby Downmix (WyreStorm Express EXP-CON-DAC-D) two times in a row from two different sellers for the same reason.
Since the left channel and the right channel were reversed, I did not trust the product.

If everything else is fine, what's the problem?
My Burson headphone amp has separate output jacks for high- and low-impedance cans. The jacks are unlabeled, and the manual has them identified incorrectly. A reviewer found out about it. Burson knows about it, but they never fixed the manual. Still, a fine piece of equipment that I am otherwise very satisfied with.
OPPO 83 has the labels correct, as I recall, but the left was on the right side of the player, etc.
The Oppo jack layout was done that way on purpose. The users of yesteryear understood that "left" channel was traditionally placed *on the left side of the back panel*. Left and right *as seen from the front of the unit* is the better model for the fumble-fingered consumers of today.

if you like and have figured out the issue you know the solution: switch the plugs. The only thing worth trusting is sound quality....

Hi but in the end ... do you like the sound ?
If i like the sound i would just swap cables once and it is done.
But if the sound is bad ... no cables swapping can cure that.
I would stick with what sounds good ... always.
By the way i did not understand what kind of unit is actually.
Kind regards,

I remember encountering a DAC between 2000 and 2005 whose initial production run had the two channels reversed...... Subsequent production runs had the silkscreen corrected.
I don't remember what the actual product was..... But I think it was discussed here on AA.....
My friend's Threshold Stasis 3 did this. I didn't have the heart to tell him. Mistakes happen. I wouldn't write off Threshold, would you?
Two times in a row?
Maybe the PCB designer messed up. Not good.
