I would take @Jason Stoddard ’s voltage comment seriously. Voltage surges do occur and they wipe out many components.

Could it be the problem at the wallwart? The MM2 never turns off the rear power switch since connected.

That's all fine and good and all, but......what is up with dude's eyebrow?

That's it? That's all you managed to get out of the video?

This is the one failed last Feb.

Also, are you using the same AC wallwart in the new MM as in the old one? Ie. you just swapped MMs, and used the same wall wart? It might be worth swapping wall warts too if that's the case because that could be causing the issue.

No, I use the new one comes with the 2nd unit.

You mean there was something else there beyond another version of the P word?

My first thought whenever I see "Weller".

What software do you guys prefer for Pi2AES?

I've always run RoPieeeXL on mine, and it works great.

Not used bandcamp with it, however. I download my music from bandcamp and then add to my Roon library.

Speaking of Folkvangr (contemplating pulling the trigger on a classified), how in the world does one know when a power tube is going bad, and which one is the culprit?

FV can work with 2-8 Power tubes. It might start having noise if tubes go bad.

I have a black FV with a set of best tubes for it for sale if you're interested in

Owning a tube amp means building in time for future issue-hunting and diagnosing, and in this case rotating each power tube out until something changes.

edited (after reading post about using 2nd wall wart):
For the replacement unit, request a replacement wall wart too. discard your existing one (unless schiit wants is back for testing / failure analysis). wall wart may have intermittent short between primary and secondary windings, solder short, insulation failure,

@Ohno Schiitizen make sure that USB power adapter connected to the apple CCK is of old-school 5V only type and NOT one of the higher power (e.g. 20W) rapid charger USB-C types that has variable-voltage output.

Geez, Louise!! There's approx. $400 just in adapters there!

But their cardboard boxes are primo!

GE did a good job printing the boxes and labeling blank tubes made by other manufacturers like RCA.

That's one method. This is another:
