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?

But since I’ve no sound with the preamp and phono preamp either, I now feel the problem isn’t the dac, it’s elsewhere. But I haven’t a clue how to track down the source of the problem.

What the cause is is uncertain. I don’t have a CD player, only a transport. I’m using the cable that came with the transport., so it’s correct. I’m using rca to connect monoblocks.
