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

Hi.

Thanks for your help.

To be more clear- I run an RCA cable from a cd player to an amplifier that connects to my non-powered speakers; from that same cd player I run a bnc out to the Schitt bifrost.  That is the then connected by RCA to the LYR 2.  So since I got these messages I did a few things:

- made sure I selected the right input mode on the DAC. 

-pulled out the tubes and tried it without

-ran rca directly from cd player to Lyr 2.

None of this produced sound through the headphones.  This makes me think that the LYR 2 needs to be repaired.

Anything else to try?

Thanks!

Hi all!

Thanks for the help.  I think I have done all of these things.  Spoke to Schiit and they think the tubes may be bad.  (Seems weird that would lead to NO SOUND rather than hissing) but I'll get some new tubes and see if that works.

Thank you!

Hi all!

Just an update as I just  got a new pair of tubes.  Put them in the Lyr 2 and there was sound.  So it was the tubes!  Phew.

Thanks all for your advice and help.  So appreciated!
