My PerfectWave dac is working!

My PWD is NOT working!!!

I tried connecting the dac, with a cd transport connected via coaxial, to my preamp via balanced and rca cables. No sound.

I was thinking the problem was with the preamp. So, I connected the PWD directly to my monoblocks. No sound either via rca or xlr!

The unit is on, and appears to be fully operable. Is this an audio gremlin, or are there problems with these pwd’s that I’m not aware of.

I purchased this unit brand new and have used it sparingly because I use vinyl a lot.

I’ve run out of solutions. Can anyone help?

There are many folks that have PWD MK2 digital and analog boards hanging around being used as door stops. They are left over from conversion to Directstream. I had a problem with my PWD MK2 and placed a WTB add. There is DIY video made by PS Audio on how to remove and replace the circuit cards. I think I paid $300 for the circuit cards, but since they are useless to their previous owners could likely get for less then the cost to ship your unit to PS Audio.
