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?

!!!!!!!!!!

Good news, and bad news.

The integrated with the preamp WORKS!

So apparently, the monoblocks I purchased on Audiogon apparently aren’t working. I purchased them 3.5 weeks ago.

And I highly doubt that the seller is going to believe that I couldn’t operate them until a preamp arrived a month later.

Interesting, that they fire up and glow just fine. $2k worth of paperweights!

So does that mean the DAC works too? Sorry to hear about the amps.

Yes, the entire system, with the pre, transport, dac, and integrated, is operating wonderfully.

The problem is the monoblocks I purchased from AG a month ago are not producing sound. But why would I not obtain sound from both amplifiers?

Can anyone explain that one?

Glad you got everything working,but I find it hard to believe that you bought these amps here. And they don’t work. Can’t see why a member would sell two dead amps. No benefit to anyone.
