Eureka: Unexpected noise due to Blu-Tacked electrolytic caps.

The intermittent noise that sounded like buzzing or clipping in one channel had nothing to do with the electrolytic caps, nor the DAC for that matter. Apparently there was a problem with the internal wiring of the headphone amplifier rather than any issue with the DAC whatsoever. Troubleshooting the issue to the source of the problem was a real challenge, but all's well that ends well. Better to take care of potential problems sooner than later. I also took care of another matter that I'd been putting off during the troubleshooting process, so it's all good.
