My long-awaited silver DAC-1 finally arrived. I couldn't wait to get it hooked up to the Edirol UA-1EX I bought to go along with it.
I'm running optical from the Edirol to the DAC-1. The Edirol is producing analog out, no problem. Hooking the optical cable up, and I get laser light through the cable.
Alas, hooking the optical to the DAC-1 produces nothing. I cannot get any lights on the DAC to light except for the power light. I've switched switches and jumpered jumpers to no avail.
I tried another source with toslink out (a PS2), and no difference.
Am I missing something? What's the chance that the DAC-1 could be DOA? They have such a good reputation that I find it hard to believe.
This is major lunchbag letdown.
I'm doing all this at work, so will be trying at home with a DVD player as source, and another optical cable. Unfortunately I don't have a digital coax cable and don't really want to buy one that I don't need.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
