I have a meridian explorer 2 wich i like very much and the sound is better than many 4000us dacs, (but has a lack of bass) this week the sound became very very bad and i decided to open the unit, i realized that they use glue to conect parts wich is horrible, but i removed partially the pcb and cleaned with isopropyl alchool and a new toothbrush with thin bristles(give a good bath of achohol), the result was awesome and the unit became alive again, also i isert isopropyl in the jacks and conected and disconected many times and cleaning.

If you have a dac and is sounding bad maybe this could come your unit back to life
 
I'm glad you got your DAC to work properly. I doubt spraying alcohol on the boards did anything, though. It may have been the cleaning of the output jack.
