No sound from cdp.


I have a Marantz cd5001 I've been using with a CA Dacmagic. Recently, on occasion, I'll get no sound. I have sound from my computer, and from my tuner as well. When I click to digital 1 on my dac, I notice sometimes there's no signal coming from my cdp. Of course I also have no sound. If I take things apart, or shut it down completely, it usually comes back on. This is getting frustrating though. So I'm asking for some advice. New cdp (transport)? Or do I need to look at something else? Any and all responses are appreciated.

Sounds like the DAC is not "locking" onto the output from the transport. Maybe the Marantz is shuting off the digital output after a period of time. Turning off , then back on, resets the digital out. Could also be that the transport is outputing a signal, but the DAC isn't locking on. Have you tried a different input on the DAC from the transport? You'll need to troubleshoot a little further.
