As someone who designs PC boards, this is a very bad idea. The warning about plate through holes (vias) and worse yet, multilayer boards should be heeded.What you need is a powered vacuum desolder station. Yes they are expensive, over $500. But destroying a board in say your DAC is far more expensive.
One thing that might help, and is also what I do even with the desolder station, is to add more solder to the pad, then remove it. Sometimes solder wick is enough.
Note that many boards today use lead free solder which is especially difficult to remove.
