My unit had been working perfectly for about 5 months when it emitted a soft "pop" and died. Tubes still glow, resistance and voltages check out. Any thoughts on next steps? Thanks.

Stock amp?
Tried with other headphones?
If voltages check out,LEDs and tubes light up on both sides it isn't dead.
Troubleshooting, IMHO, must start from headphones and backwards inYour case
