Minidsp connectivity issue


Hi,

I have a Bluesound Node digital s/pdif coax out to Flex digital s/pdif in, then coax digital output 1 from the Flex to a Denafrips Ares II dac coax input. The meters on the minidsp interface confirm the Flex is receiving the signal but the Denafrips is not seeing it. The input on the minidsp app is set to s/pdif and all outputs are turned on. Either the signal is not being sent out from the minidsp or the Denafrips is unable to decode it for some reason. Btw, the Flex has no analog output. Thanks in advance for any advice to help me fix my issues. Regards, Dave.

Make sure MQA is turned off in the Node menu. It being on can mess with non MQA gear downstream.

Can you go Bluesound out to mini DSP,then MiniDSP to the DAC?  That is how I use my miniDSP 

Double check the maximum INPUT signal on the flex.  I believe it's 96 kHz/24 bit.
