Lab12 DAC1 Reference Problem

Guys, got this DAC a few days back, and having a problem connecting it to my Electrocompaniet ecm1 UP cd player via rca digital out. The signal is not stable, goes on and off. The Bluesound streamer works fine with it. Connecting cable is Nordost Silver Shadow. Already talked to the dealer, while he didn’t know the answer he offered either to replace it or refund my money. Going to return it, but I really like its sound.

 What could be the cause of this glitch? Ideas?

Thanks.

The rub is that it sounds soooo good.... I really have no plans to replace it anytime soon. I had a year trade up and knew early on i was keeping it. It’s a small inconvenience in the scheme of life.

Agreed! That’s a wise perspective. If an audio component significantly improves your enjoyment of listening to music, keep and appreciate it.

@chayro, it’s not better than the Electro, just different, but It’s much better than my Bluesound streamer.

Strangely enough my Marantz sacd player works fine with both inputs. But the Electro is much better soundwiise that’s I’m very disappointed ☹️

Try swapping Coax 1 for 2 and keep the Bluesound out of the loop while troubleshooting
