Peeps. I have a Denafrips Terminator which seems to have a very complicated power supply circuit. When switched on it does this endless relay clicking and nothing happens. Is there a known issue and any troubleshooting steps. Thanks

There is a guy in Austin who is an authorized Denafrips service center. I don't know his name or contact information, but it is out there. I have seen it recently. I think you should give them a call. DACs are pretty complicated and I haven't met a tech who would touch one. But repairs on an expensive and prized DAC like the Terminator is worth pursuing.
 
Sure. Will pursue that. While I had it open I noticed some burn marks on a mosfet next to the big relay that keeps clicking. The marking on this mosfet is A18. No other info. I took it out and tested on peak tester which said N mosfet channel. Doesn’t show shorts but given the burn marks it would be prudent to change. But I don’t know the value or part number. Can anyone suggest a good replacement on this position. Pics attached. IMG_9970.jpegIMG_9971.jpeg
