Same thing happened to my Lyr 3, twice. Sold it after the second repair.
One of the ways Schiit keeps costs down is compromised thermal management. I wonder how long before internal components start to deteriorate, causing a long, subtle race to the bottom.
Since the Cult of Schiit, among other things, keeps you coming back, most owners will not own a Schiit product long enough to notice.
Lots of choices in your price range; DACs have moved from flavor of the month to flavor of the week. Stay tuned and you will see "Best DAC Ever" threads everywhere.
Try this (if you can hear a negative difference, which is unlikely, just send it back):
