SGCD Digital in?

Audio Components
#1

Hope anybody here can tell me what i’m missing to make the SGCD sing with coaxial input

I just unbox the SGCD today and start connect to the M700s and using the CXN V2 as source with AQ Carbon coxial cable connect to.

i tested on analog inputs and they work OK - all of them . but i can not make the coaxial / optical input work - two of them sound nothing (???)

I’m missing somthing ? enable DAC … etc and where to set them on , on the remote there is nothing say DAC, … just the filter selection
Currently have to use the analog with RCA cable to burn in the SGCD.

BTW, the GCD is amazing, hear so much beautiful sounds that the Cambridge Audio combo could not deliver
Very well done guys - @ PSA

Thanks

I found the issue that i’m connecting the coxial input of the streamer :slight_smile: instead of coxial output

From memory, you only change the input to digital coaxial. The GCDAC sounds very good using SPDIF coaxial. It treats digital inputs as any other inputs. nothing says DAC Edit: glad you’ve sorted it.

One more big issue that the GCDS plays with maximum output when in digital coaxial cable, can not volume down that can make my ear deaf . i can not control it or turn the volume of the GDS down
I’m missing somewhere ?

#4

Does the mute button work? Does the remote turn it on and off?

#5

yes it does, but unmute then it maximum loud that can destroy the speakers

#6

So, if you turn the volume down manually, it stays high?

#7

manual down just work with analog input only, digital like coaxial did not effect , not trying I2S, Optical yet

#8

No, it should work for all inputs

#9

have no idea, it should right ?

#10

Take a moment to read the manual. It could be one of those settings using the push button next to display. Sorry, I have a bad memory.

@jamesh : you have any idea with what going on ? Need you help

#14

What does the HT relate to the coaxial setting ? the GCD should work out of the box right ?
Did you need to do something before you can use the coxial input ?

#15

DAC Mode should be changed from the settings screen
I just remembered. You definitely need to disable the DAC mode so it feeds the preamp volume control.

It is set to bypass your preamp and feed another preamp. This bypasses the volume control and puts it at full voltage.

Serhan, the GCD have multple power input from the inlet port i see them printed:

100 : T250 2A
120: T250 1.6 A
230: T250 1A

does that mean i can use either 100 grid or 230 without issue?
@jamesh The GDS is not voltage specific right ?
