To give a bit more background, this is a device I bought many years ago.
The label on the bottom gives the manufacture date at Nov 2001.
I just took it apart now. It uses a Philips UDA1321 USB DAC and a Microchip
24LC16B EEPROM. I couldn't guess where exactly the problem lies here
without doing some component substitution, but I'm doubtful that I can fix
any problem that's burned to silicon. Maybe if I use a faster EEPROM,
though it's likely that the values it needs to find are internal.
Oh well. Thank you for all your help.
