help! no sound

Hi Audiogoners-

I am just hooking my stereo up after several months of inactivity during a renovation project.    I run a bnc out from my cd player to a Schiit bifrost (using adapter there for bnc).  I have RCA cables to the Lyr 2 amp.  When I play the cd player I get no sound.  (The cd player is producing sound through the speakers.)

This set up worked before and I am mystified.  Any idea what's going on?  Should I sent the LYR 2 back to Schiit for a repair?  Or is this user error?

Thanks for any insight!

Margot

I didn’t get that in the OP you were trying to use headphones.  I am also still confused what happens when you run the CD player directly into the amp with RCA cables.  Are you getting music or what?  If you are successfully playing music from the CDP into the amp then the problem is the DAC

I don’t understand when you say you say the cd player is producing sound through the speakers.  CD players usually don’t make audible noise except music.  Sometimes you can hear a disc spinning noise but is if you are physically close to the cd player and not being transmitted to the speakers.

  Check both the CD player and remote to see if you have a mute button that may have somehow activated.  If that fails see if the DAC has a mute setting.  And if all else fails just unplug everything from the electric mainsand then reconnect and try again

well I beg to differ, i found the original post confusing in that first there is a statement that sound is produced through the speakers from the cd player followed by a statement that there is no sound from the CDP.  I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I've been through a few rabbit holes on this forum when the original issue is unclear
