My PerfectWave dac is working!
No, it’s not “broken.” It’s simply a gremlin. What the cause is is uncertain.  I don’t have a CD player, only a transport. I’m using the cable that came with the transport., so it’s correct. I’m using rca to connect monoblocks.

Unfortunately not locally. But since I’ve no sound with the preamp and phono preamp either, I now feel the problem isn’t the dac, it’s elsewhere. But I haven’t a clue how to track down the source of the problem.

I just connected the USB input to the DAC running to my computer. Not a sound.

Regrettably, I didn’t get the bridge. I’ll try connecting the usb input, just to cover all bases. It’s connected to my MAC.

The source is the CXC transport connected to the DAC by Coaxial connection. I have a verified connection to the DAC.    I know, what are the odds both amps aren’t working. It doesn’t make sense.    I’ve checked and rechecked all cable connection...

The dac is currently directly connected to the amps via RCA. There’s no sound. I’ve attempted several inputs on the preamp. Same result. PS Audio attempted to assist. Once they understood that there was no sound when connected to the phono pre eit...

No, I’m not saying the amps and pre aren’t working. But currently I’ve no sound with either the dac directly connected to the amps, or the dac connected to the preamp, or the phono preamp connected to the preamp and monoblocks. It’s a dilemma I kn...

No, I recently purchased the pre and the monoblocks. Right now I’ve no sound with them with either the dac or the phono pre. So I’m wondering if the problem is with the pre or the monoblocks.    Initially I thought the issue was with the dac. I h...

There is no hiss, no hum, nothing.

From dac to pre via xlr. From pre to monoblocks via rca because the monoblocks are only rca. The CD player is only a transport. I don’t play MP3’s, only redbook cd’s.  The problem is I’ve no sound from dac direct to monoblocks or from pre direct...

PS Audio can’t help. I’ve got no sound with the phono preamp connected to the preamp and monoblocks either. I’m at a loss. I don’t have another preamp, or amplifiers, to insert into the system to attempt to see what the problem is. Right now I’ve...

The transport worked perfectly with the PSAudio MKII dac prior to attempting to connect separates. It’s a Cambridge Audio CXC V2 transport.

I’m calling PSA in a few minutes. It’s the MKII version of the original PWD. It’s not a DSD, unfortunately.  I can’t spend $4k plus for a dac.

Yes, the dac worked perfectly before with an integrated tube amp. Now I’m trying to connect separates and it’s not working.
