This is sort of a DIY fix question, hopefully this is the right place to post it.
Basically one channel of my receiver developed a very noticeable hiss. My troubleshooting puts it in the preamp stage.
I've actually built small, simple amps in my day, but never worked on anything like a modern receiver. Since my troubleshooting put the problem in the preamp, I don't think that would involve any of the more complex electronics like the DAC and whatnot. So in theory, if it's just a problem with a burnt capacitor or opamp I might be able to fix it myself.
I already used this issue as an excuse to upgrade, and my warranty is long expired, so I'm willing to risk messing it up
