DAC-Help


Hi i have a Parasound DAC hooked up to a Denon CDP.I am using the Coaxial output.However i am using a Normal interconnect cable to hook it up,not the 75 ohm coaxial cable.I have noticed that the sound sometimes cuts off for a split second then comes on again.Could it be the cable??Is it absolutely neccessary that i use the right cable??Also i noticed that when i turn On and Off other electrical appliances in my hall the same thing happens.Could it be that my DAC is faulty. Any comments much appreciated.Thanks.

Try another interconnect to rule out faulty interconnect. Unplug dac and replug in 5 minutes.This will reset the electronics if there is an overload of faulty readings.On some dacs a static discharge from a touch can create the above problem.Any interconnect should work with no problems,however digital interconnects will slightly improve the sound.Also have your home electrical system checked out.
