Bel canto DAC 2

I just hooked up my Bel Canto PL-2 (digi-out) into the DAC 2 and I'm getting the red light, meaning it's not reading the digital signal. No problems with 16bit - green lights all the time. The 24 bit disc is in dvd-a format. Reads and plays fine through the RCA analog outs, just not through the digital out on the PL-2. Shouldn't be any copyrights or anything as I burned this myself. So perhaps the DAC 2 cannot accept a 24bit signal? Hard to tell just by reading the manual. But it says it can play 24/96 DAD recordings. Is this different than DVD-audio? My dvd-audio disc is 24/48.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it. I'm learning... slowly.

I haven't had much of a chance as of yet to do an honest comparison. But I will in time. I got the DAC 2 more so for other digital sources I have, such as the PC, DAT, other hard drive recorders. Also, I like playing dvd-audio discs which will not output a digital signal from the PL-2. So far, I'm very satisfied with the analog outputs on the pl-2 > Cayin A-70T > VR2's
