Left RCA out on DAC not working


Hi guys,

As per title, the Left out RCA socket on my DAC is not working properly.

It will work, but only with RCA plugs with non-metallic shrouds, such as AECO plugs. I only discovered the issue when I went to try other interconnects. I started off with my Lavri Grand ICs which have AECO plugs, but all my ICs with metallic shrouds around the pin don't work at all.

The DAC is relatively new; I contacted the distributor, and he thinks it's a badly soldered ground on the inside of the chassis. He's ordered me a new unit, but has been admitted to hospital for major heart surgery, so I may have a bit of a wait 

Anyway, is he correct in his assumption of a bad ground solder inside on the Left RCA out?

Thanks in advance

The other cables are not making good connection on one of the 4 connection points or in teh middle.
