Why won't my iPad work with my devilsound DAC?


I have an iPad that's running regular iTunes. I tried to run in into my preamp through my devilsound 2.1 DAC. I get no sound at all. iPod doesn't work either. I used iTunes from my HP mini laptop and it works fine. What's gives? I bought the adapter so I can link the lightning usb cable from my iPad and iPod to the devilsound USB cable.
Any ideas? I'm new to the whole iTunes thing, so this may be simply operator error. I appreciate any ideas
Thanks

I don't claim to be an expert on this but a couple things come to mind. The first is what format are you sending to your DAC? Maybe its just a compatibility issue. The second is are you sure that you can send a digital signal from the iPod/1Pad at all? (Through a cable and not wireless.) I was under the impression that it can't be done. I could be wrong on that one.
