Nice one Stefan. Glad to hear you're up and running again.

Wahey, I've got sound again!
Swapped the trident for SF's one (which I've put on a header for easy removal this time) checked the voltages again, and Bob's your uncle. A happy man again. Thanks for all your help guys, I love it here hopefully my lcdps bodge will hold out long enough to get my new placid hd up and running. I'll have to jimmy the layout around a bit as well.

I didn't have such a fuss with the Placid HD mono. Perhaps the BP needs a bigger transformer?
And one last thing I'm thinking about: is the Legato even necessary? As I was trouble shooting and narrowing down the problem in my DAC, I pulled the analog out directly from the Buffalo II and fed it into a StarFish. It sounded fantastic. This will require some proper A-B testing, but simplification is a real temptation.
You just the dumped the converters 16mA onto the pot? the converters outputs are differential how did this work.
Maybe the Buffalo-II is not the same as the Buffalo-III but I thought its still had differential output and four 4mA dacs a side.
Twiddling the pots on the Placid was an exercise in frustration.
Bemused, if you're using an Olimex board, you should ask them for help. Unfortunately, we can't support other people's products (because we don't know how they work, etc).
