RE: Removing chips

Douwe,

That should work ok in almost all cases... and if you plan ahead and do it carefully, you can reattach it if things don't work as you expected.

I will be doing that when I test disabling the SPDIF-related chips from the Juli! I'm pretty comfortable I can remove the opto-coupler, the output connector, the TOSLINK connector, and the buffer, but not as sure on the AK4114. I plan to carefully lift the PS pins on that chip using a fine soldering iron and a needle to make sure my I2S outputs still function with that chip disabled. If it does, then I can remove it completely.

Let us know what you do AND POST PICTURES!!!
