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.

This one is on my radar and I know @oddiofyl always speaks highly of it. It’s between the Lab 12 or adding a DDC to my current Pontus II.

@hasmarto Hi there, I'm very tempting to get this DAC. However my current DAC Matrix Audio has digital volume control and Lab 12 doesn't have. May I check whether able to control volume from driver (Such as Window,Mac and IOS etc.)

@nainghsy , I only tried my CDP and internet radio via Bluesound, which has its own control app. So, can’t comment on that, sorry

I used the Lab 12 with a Vault 2i and it's volume control.   If the PC can attenuate the digital out then it is possible.
