My PerfectWave dac is working!

My PWD is NOT working!!!

I tried connecting the dac, with a cd transport connected via coaxial, to my preamp via balanced and rca cables. No sound.

I was thinking the problem was with the preamp. So, I connected the PWD directly to my monoblocks. No sound either via rca or xlr!

The unit is on, and appears to be fully operable. Is this an audio gremlin, or are there problems with these pwd’s that I’m not aware of.

I purchased this unit brand new and have used it sparingly because I use vinyl a lot.

I’ve run out of solutions. Can anyone help?

I assumed because it’s selected as the source. I’ve yet to hear the monoblocks with the ML’s. They arrived 3 weeks ago, but I had to wait for a preamp to arrive. Prior to that I was listening to a tube integrated. But since the amps and pre arrived I’ve had no sound.

If my computer is off the dac still displays a green dot with a blue light on the dac. Why, because a usb connection is made on the PWD. The fact that I also have zero sound with the phono pre connection means something else is happening, other than the dac. What, I haven’t a clue. I’ve a pair of class a monoblocks on the way. If they don’t work, at least I know that the problem isn’t the tube amplifier’s, which I’m not suspecting anyway.
