DAC Arrived today-hook up ??????
I bought a MSB Link DAC III which arrived today. Instruction manual is pretty much worthless IMO since it describes functions of outputs/inputs but does not give you any help in telling you how to hook the thing up.
I am trying to hook it up to my Marantz CD-63SE. The Marantz has both a optical and co-axial hook up as well as the usual analog output. I assume that I connect the optical and co-axial to the DAC and run the analog output to the analog input of the DAC and then run the analog output of the DAC to the input of my pre-amp. When I put a CD into the player it acts as if a disc is not even in there and I get no sound at all. The power button and the LED's are lit up on the DAC.
The manual to the DAC says I should allow for 100 hours of burn in. Does this mean the unit has to be on for roughly 5 days before I will even get sound?
Sorry if these are dumb questions but I have never owned a DAC so I am more cluless than normal.
