Yes, remarkable that the PCM1804 saga continues. I built 4 QMX and one QMX+. Only one had an 1804 failure. First Rev 1 and Rev 3 (mini) had/have no failures. Second Rev 1 had SMPS (5V), then Mplx chip failures. Both replaced and all well. Rev 4 had 1804 failure - replaced and all is well. In fact, that is my go-to mid-band rig for portable operations. QMX+ no problems. In addition, 2 QDXs before had no issues with the 1804s. Both QDXs sold since I have the QMXs.?
