Best way to connect Mytek Brooklyn Bridge to Hegel H390?

Hey Gang,

I'm currently only able to get the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge to work by connecting RCA outs on the Mytek to the Analog 1 input in the Brooklyn Bridge. 

I thought connecting the SPDIF connection from the Mytkek to the coaxial on the Hegel would work but I'm guessing they're different protocols. 

Is there only the analog / RCA way to connect these 2 things? I thought a DAC would have a simple digital way to connect to an amp. So a bit underwhelmed. The optical to optical doesn't seem to work either.

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks @rajvhifii and @jjss49 

Initially I had the Bluesound Node 2i running into the Hegel Amp which sounded ok. I had the Brooklyn Bridge in my office (demoing it atm) but thought I'd try it in the living room to see if it had a better sound as a DAC/Streamer combo. 

To my surprise, it was really similar if not a little brighter than the Hegel with the Node. 

This was also a test to see if a better DAC made a big difference or if its my speakers that need an upgrade to pair with the Hegel. Currently have an older pair of Monitor Audio Silver RX6's.
