I'm going to suggest some really silly things. I'm sure these are not true in your case, but then again, I've seen very smart people struggle with a problem only to find that it was caused by something very silly. So forgive me in advance.
1. You mention RCA cables. In my case, the digital input of my Transporter for a S/PDIF digital cable us a BNC connector on the Transporter side. I have a source connected to the Digital Input with a BNC connector on the Transporter side and an RCA plug on the other source end. Can you get a S/PDIF cable with BNC on one side for connecting to Transporter as a test? 2. You mention a light from the optical input, but did you connect an optical cable to the Transporter from a CD player and try to play? 3. Silliest thing of all, for my Transporter Digital inputs, I have to select in the menu which of the inputs it uses: BNC, RCA, Optical and balanced AES. You've selected the right one when trying to play? *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win8(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106893 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
