98 Ls 400 Nakamichi Ls Intermitent Problem

[bridgh20]

After owning the car for over 5 years now and no problems we are having a problem with the radio of all things.

If we turn the stereo volume control past about the 10 o'clock position, the sound cuts in and out until we turn the volume back below the 9 o'clock position. We replaced the amplifier under the pasenger seat and no improvement.

Has anyone else had this occur and if so, what was your solution?

it could be a bad dac which is the nakamichi box mounted on the back of the cd changer.

Is it replaceable? As we do not have a Lexus dealer within 250 miles of here, I visited the Toyota dealership and they said that they would want to replace the stereo for $600.

Directions on this dac would be helpful.
