help! no sound

I don’t understand when you say you say the cd player is producing sound through the speakers.  CD players usually don’t make audible noise except music.  Sometimes you can hear a disc spinning noise but is if you are physically close to the cd player and not being transmitted to the speakers.

  Check both the CD player and remote to see if you have a mute button that may have somehow activated.  If that fails see if the DAC has a mute setting.  And if all else fails just unplug everything from the electric mainsand then reconnect and try again 

Hi.

Thanks for your help.

To be more clear- I run an RCA cable from a cd player to an amplifier that connects to my non-powered speakers; from that same cd player I run a bnc out to the Schitt bifrost.  That is the then connected by RCA to the LYR 2.  So since I got these messages I did a few things:

- made sure I selected the right input mode on the DAC. 

-pulled out the tubes and tried it without

-ran rca directly from cd player to Lyr 2.

None of this produced sound through the headphones.  This makes me think that the LYR 2 needs to be repaired.

Anything else to try?

Thanks!

Margot

Sounds like the amp needs to be repaired.

I have a Lyr 3, not a 2, but have you checked that the RCA cable is plugged into the inputs and not the outputs? And I also assume you've checked that the power cable is firmly inserted at the back of the Lyr and the cable is plugged into a live outlet at the other end, and the power switch is on. Sometimes it is easy to miss the basics.

Margot have you selected the proper input on the schiit defrost dac? It must be switched to spdif. And proper inputs on lyr 2? Try switching inputs on it.
