#14 TC Electronic Studio Konnekt 48 "Dice II STD" replacement / transplant

A couple years ago i got my hands on a faulty one of these. Details of the revival process can be found over here; photos visible only for forum members though. Buuuuut since i'm in a good mood, OVER HERE you can find the link to a Google Drive folder with all the (relevant) photos i had posted on that particular thread - you're welcome...

The last issue i had to take care of, back then, was the (apparent?) shorting to ground that some of the I2S clock signal lines, coming out of the Dice II chip. Fortunately, it has several sets of these clock output signals in use, so between cutting a couple traces and adding some wire jumpers, i managed to put together and distribute a healthy set of clock signals to all the ADC & DAC chips that required them.

PS: It seems that the original link for the schematics of this unit is dead nowadays ("thank you", Music Group?), but for the sake of completeness and posterity, i've reuploaded it right over here.
