Ayre C5xe Owners w/MP Upgrade-digital out problem?

I recentley received my C5xe back from Ayre with the new MP upgrade. It sounds incredible and I would not reverse it for anything. But I also use it to record to my cd recorder. Tonight for the first time since I received it back, I tried to make a cd and I get no digital signal from the Ayre. I have tried a number of things to make sure but all my tests point to not Digital output from the Ayre. So any one that has had this MP upgrade have you noticed if the Digital output is disconnected on your machine? I have checked all dip switch settings and just do not get any signal. Would appreciate any feedback from anyone that might know if this is part of the upgrade or should I plan to send it back? I have also e/mailed my dealer but he is closed on friday.

interesting. I recently tried the digital output from my C5xe for the first time and it did not work. My dealer who is very capable could not solve the problem. However, after the player came back with the MP upgrade, everything is fine.

The new DAC is indeed phenomenal. However, I can't say it bests the DAC in my Boulder 1012. Both are exceptional. Not sure which one I prefer yet. I'm sure both of them need some burning in as they are new.
