  I checked the DAC19 user manual and it seems I've got the right selection (1) for USB input from my iMac (preferences shows the Combo384 Amanero USB selected) and then RCA's out to the LC and balanced selected with my 4-pin XLR to my Sony Z7.  I can hear some background hum or hiss but just barely.....could be my brain lol.  However pressing the gain switch does elicit a small "thub" sound like that's working I guess.  Still no sound *heavy sigh*

 

  Yes on the power cord

lol...why don't you try a different input or without the DAC19 to confirm it works or if its something in between.

I did disconnect the DAC19 and then connected my AK100ii via 3.5mm to see if that would solve the issue but it didn't seem to work either

If you are connecting the DAC19 to the LC via RCAs, then the right-most button on the LC should be pushed-IN and the LED should be Red. That button lets you choose which INPUT you're using, not which headphone output you're using. 
 
This is what Ying was trying to get across to you above.

Thank you, but I tried that as well.  Neither SE or balanced selected seems to output a single at this point.  I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I can't see it right now.  It's all very frustrating

Tried a different USB out from the iMac and still nothing.....ugh

Eliminate variables until you have it down to one item. Try listening to the DAC 19 with another amp using all the exact same settings/cables. If that works then it is indeed something with the LC.

Sorry for silly question but when you are burning in the amp do you keep your volume level at where you were listening at or you just turn it all the way down?? LOL!

Switched out the DAC19 for my Jolida Glass FX Tube DAC and EUREKA!  I have music!
 
So I guess my DAC19 is bad.  Lovely

Thanks to everyone for their advice and help.  I really appreciate it

Glad you figured it out! Nothing is worse than having new toys and not being able to play with them.

Is your DAC-19 not working with any amp? thats worrying

 

[ButtUglyJeff]

  I just received my LC and plugged my Audio-gd DAC 19 and iMac and then nothing.......complete silence.  I went through the connections a few more times and still nothing.  Tried single and balanced outputs and still nothing.  Tried hooking up my AK100ii via 3.5mm and more nothingness
 
What am I missing?  Help

 
Check the input switch?

Pretty sure its just the USB in. Troubleshoot that and try different inputs.

Liquid Carbon in house. 

 Just started the process of burn-in, Gumby balanced-out - LC - balanced to ETHER. 
 
LC looks really small. The machine warms up after 5-6 mins. Now the burn-in.

Your setup, LC and ETHER - heard it and definitely considered it as one of my potential end game options.
Hope you enjoy!
