Emotiva UMC-200

Coaxial out from the Nano to the CD-1/Coaxial digital input on the Emotiva (I've also tried CD-2 as well, which is just a different coax jack). The UMC-200 is somewhat flexible for adjusting which input jacks are used, especially when using video sources. But there is no way to change the audio inputs for the CD source inputs that I'm using.

I expected to at least see some activity on the UMC-200 that it received a signal (like I do for optical or HDMI sources) when the Nano is playing a track (tried laptops and iPads for sources), but nothing happens.

First I would determine whether your UMC-200's coaxial inputs work properly. Can you send signal do them from a device other than nano iDSD BL you have? And are those digital inputs auto-sensing?

yep, trying to find another device to do just that. I got a Blu-Ray player recently but haven't hooked it up yet. For sure the optical inputs work on the Emotiva as I use them all the time.

is it possible there is a "soft" switch on the Nano iDSD to disable digital out? I guess I should try connecting the Nano to my Windows PC with the iFi application running and see what it says for status when it's hooked up.

FYI. I connected a Blu-Ray player to the UMC-200 digital coax inputs and they work fine.

Could the issue be that I flashed the Nano iDSD (silver) to v5.3/MQA firmware? Does that disable the digital out by chance?

If you have FW 5.3c installed, then yes, SPDIF is disabled. On FW 5.3 it should work though. Can you please check which one exactly your nano iDSD BL has?

it says v5.30, but I guess I can try re-flashing and see what happens.

EDIT: well, I re-flashed v5.30.bin (fresh download, using the Windows installer files) and it still didn't work. v5.20 does though (!) so I guess I'll stick with that for now. thanks.

Anyone can recommend replacement battery for iDSD LE? Mine almost exploded damaging PCB (I can fix it) but need to find replacement battery. Preferably the one that wont posses any riosk of exploding.

You could ask at our support site (...by opening a ticket here: https://support.ifi-audio.com) whether we still have any left. The odds are we might

Both my Le and now Black had battery problems , iFi must use the worst Quality. I am on my second nano black battery and guess what ? its again broken. So for now i don't use it ( i can find battery on my region but is so expensive that doesnt worth it to risk it again) .
So what we can do ? find the specs from the battery and buy something similar , and honestly u can find something that will not explode and last more than stock battery.
If i am not wrong stock battery its 3.7v and very small capacity 1.000mah. for example u can find something way better with less money like that https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B091YKTT9S . but if u want something way cheaper and close to ifi specs ... then something with 10-15 euro will do the work.
By the way black does work without battery but to me doesnt sound correct something is missing .

Ps. if u can fix a pcb , then i am sure u can use what ever battery with the shame specs and use the stock cable .
