Using the UQ as a Streamer only via Digital Out

Posted by: Yeast on 05 October 2013

Can someone please tell me how I can get digital output from the UQ1 so I can send a digital UPnP stream directly into a 3rd party DAC? I've tried to connect to a Esoteric Coaxial Digital input and get no sound. What have I missed? I have been using n stream as the controller (My source is a US 2TB).

You might need to make sure the Digital out is turned on.

the UQ has a fine dac.
 
I wouldn't bother with an external dac.

The External DAC is connected to a "Non Naim" system....I just want to know why I have no digital output when streaming from my US via the UQ.
