Could it be because signal is too high? In this case, maybe attenuator will help? -- michael123 michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread:

The coax output on all the SB devices is right on the money voltage wise, no need for any attenuators. The crystals used in most of the SB devices are pretty cheap crystals with fairly wide initial tolerances (well within the official S/PDIF spec though). SOME DACs have a special narrow band

I already have read quite some threads about the Squeezebox, however none of them could clearly explain me why certain DACs do not lock on to the Squeezebox SPDIF signal. Could you explain me what the reason is ? and if it is possible to change the output frequency from the Squeezebox itself ?
