Make a cable. Or chop a xlr to xlr in half and clip to bare endsIs there a better way to measure than attaching alligator clipped probes to the #2 and #3 pins of the male XLR line out jack?

I used to be able to recite the spoken introductions to Ampex and BASF test tapes, which were the ones we used....Badische Analin und Soda Fabrik Ah Geh. About the only time one heard BASF spoken out fully.
This other DAC doesn't have the erratic output level of the iFi:

You'd think so. The meter manual specifies a 30-minute warm-up, as is typical for lab gear. I'll have to try it again and see if the behaviour recurs.That's more what I would expect over a two hour period.
I can see the voltage being unstable for the first 5 min while things heat up, or maybe even 15, but the hours of the iFi is puzzling.
It should have reached thermal homeostasis much earlier.

Let's find out.What happens if you leave it going for 24 hrs?
Will it deteriorate further? Start oscillating?

I think the volume control may have gone mad. It's a rather idiotic design, after all.
I Service & Repair older AP Systems, I also have APIB USB ADAPTERS so they can be run with USB under XP, Vista, Win7, 8 & 10 No old PC's NEEDED.Then he's got to keep an ancient PC (286/386/486) alive for the System One! (ISA slots or a really expensive USB 1.0 breakout box IIRC) Trust me, keeping a PC alive that wanted to go to PC heaven 20 years ago gets rather tiring.
