defective pre-amp


Bought a new C47 McIntosh and hooked it up to my Sony UPD800X DVD player.
I have a new set of headphones that are 103db sensitivity. I used a new Pangea Coax cable.
When listening thru the headphone Jack I get lower volume than normal and lots of hiss. I tried 2 DVD player and same thing. Any ideas? bad headphone amp inside or bad DAC? I am next going to try a different cable....

Are you listening to CDs, DVDs or SACDs? Might want to go into the setup menu of the DVD player and try changing the digital audio output to PCM. Worth a shot.....
