dCS stack with ML Descent

Any body having problem in Driving ML Descent subwoofer with dCS stack? I've recently hooked up dCS stack with C2200 and am experiencing weak action by Descent which functions fine with all other sources such as record, tape ,tuner and other CD player. The main speakers are ML Summit which seem working normally. The power amp is MC2102. I'm using an XLR cable to connect Elgar and C2200. Please help.

Do you mean "Output" level with Elgar and Purcell? I tried everything. Does Remote have a different volume control from the one on the panel?

Hi Gfe,

That's exactly what I did and finally had my subwoofer get the action when dCS is in use. Since I am using a Preamp, there is an extra RCA connection between the Preamp and subwoofer, also. Both are single lines and each connects to RIGHT and LEFT terminals of the subwoofer. This might not be a true solution, but this seems to be the only way I can get the subwoofer function on every source. Any further suggestion?

Hi Breg,
Thank you again for your professional comment. Another thing I noticed on my dCS stack is its relatively low bass output. I have an old Luxman CD Player, one of their top of the line models, connected to the pre with an RCA cable as a backup system. I get much more bass out of Luxman without a help from the subwoofer. This is another reason why I need to connect dCS to sub. Is there anything wrong with my dCS stack?
