Is DEQX a game changer?

Hi- Just got the premate and want to run my external dac- I hooked up my server to the premate dig.in and then out from the premate to dig. in on my dac- according to the DEQX manual -I ran out from the dac to the amps- No sound- what am i doing wrong- thks for the help

thks- No  never used the external dac outputs before- Just want to run server to external dac to DEQX( serving as pre) to mono block amps- thks

thks- It seemed odd to me to run from output of dac to amps but here it is from page 24 of manual unless I am reading it wrong-
"The diagram above illustrates the use of the digital output of the PreMATE or PreMATE+. Connect the digital output, labeled Full L2/R2, to an external DAC via a BNC cable (or an RCA cable with a BNC-RCA adapter). The outputs of the DAC are connected to the power amplifier, which in turn drives the left and right speakers. Note that the external DAC must be capable of decoding a 24-bit 96 kHz signal "

guys thanks- Hooked it up the way I thought it should be and works fine- Thks again
