Cocktail audio x45 , Digital AES our to in no response.

Hi, need help why my cocktail Audio X45 digital output (AES only ) when connected to my Canary Audio Dac KD2000 Input does not pick up any signal from the cocktail audio. If I use the Toslink and S/PDIF it works . If I use my Cary CD player as Transport using Digital out AES from Cary to Canary Input AES, it works fine . So my Canary DAC works . My Cary also has a DAC and it also does not recognize the cocktail audios output signal. I’m very puzzled. The cocktail audio works with the MBL Dac ! Question is , are there such a thing that it’s not compatible? Please advice. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Richard

Further to djones51 reply above.
Is it possible that the x45 and the MBL DAC share the same pin out, which is why that works, but the Canary,Cary have a different pinout.
Which is why they work together but not x45 to Canary.
If you have all of the manuals to hand you might want to just check first.
