Looking at the Viking manual, I do not see any setting or control that would affect the digital out. The DAC+ button does not apply to the Viking and is used for their DAC’s. I suspect that the issue could be with the Bifrost. Do you have the correct input selected for coax? Is it muted by chance? It seems unlikely that it is the cable, but if all else fails it is worth trying.
settings on my Hegel cdp
Hello all-
I am having a bit of trouble with my set up and wonder if you all had any advice.
I recently purchased a Hegel Viking cd player. I am running RCA cables from the cd player to my amp that powers my speakers. Sounds great. I also have a BNC cable from the digital out on the back of the Viking connected to a Schiit Bifrost DAC connected to a LYR 2 amp for headphones. I used this same setup with my prior cd player (Line Magnetic 515). I don’t get any sound with the Hegel out of the headphone amp, however. I sent the headphone amp in for service (it’s fine); I have new tubes. I’m thinking of getting a new BNC cable in case that has failed (but it isn’t that old). But is there some setting on the Hegel that I need to select for it to know to send music to the external DAC when I use my headphones? I see a “DAC + “ button on the remote? The manual says this is for "DAC input." I don't know what that means. Do I need to do something with this to select the external DAC?
Other ideas?
Many thanks!
