Hi all,
Please help, having just built this ADC (96/24) to run my Retro into my Buffalo-IIIsePro-28, I have no sound, the Spdif input on my B-111 works great with my CD, both the ADC and CD work fine into another DAC (Tascam) With the ADC connected to the Spdif input I get only silence but the lock led lights, the spdif output from the ADC is standard 0.5 VPP @ 75 Ω terminated.
Please help I'm a bit stumped,
Many thaks.

I think we need more information about your setup.

As always, some pictures can be very helpful.

Is there anything in between the devices providing switching? You are sure the SPDIF mode is set on the DAC? Polarity of the S/PDIF connection is correct?

Hi Brian, Thanks for answering.

Some Photos

A bit more info, my dac has two inputs, i2s via a Teleporter and s/pdif connected directly to the s/pdif and gnd input and  selected by a switch on ip/s.
My CD (consumer level s/pdif) works great via a bnc cable into the Buff dac, if I then connect my newly built ADC (consumer level s/pdif) to my Buff dac with the same cable I get no sound but lock led lights, however if I connect either the ADC or the CD using the same cable to my Tascam dac I get music in both cases.
I have tried reversing the polarity of the s/pdif (didn't know it mattered, the output on the ADC is transformer isolated)  - no change, currently there switching between ADC and CD in the ADC box using OTTO 11 and this works fine, in the dac no switching (other than selecting S/pdif or i2s in the dac)

This is what the output of the ADC looks like (not sure it looks right or not)

Cheers, Steve

Bit of an update,
I have discovered that if I route the digital signal from the ADC via the Tascam dacs pass through to my B111se it plays and I get sound,not sure what this means.
I have also tried all of the ADC sample rate settings, results are unchanged

Cheers Steve
