Give Up?

Put a new DAC in. Speaker starts cutting out. Amp starts clicking.
Quick, what's the problem?
That was my experience today.
Any armchair tech assessments?
I did find the issue, and I'll confirm it when it's correctly identified.

You begin to see that this was beyond a simple misconfiguration issue. This was a tube DAC, but it was not a bad tube.
