I just received my new Nuforce Oppo Special Edition. I can't seem to get audio out of the coaxial digital out. I am running it in my two channel system with Parasound JC-2 preamp and Bryston BDA-1 dac.

I have the following settings:

HDMI audio off
SACD output DSD and two channel
Coaxial output LPCM
LPCM Rate Limit 192K (none of the frequenceies work)

I can get analog CD/SACD audio out but no CD audio out of the coax. (the coax worked fine with my Denon DVD-5900. The Bryston BDA-1 indicates the proper frequency and the lock lights.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

1)  Are you using a Redbook CD and not SACD?  SACD doesn't allow S/PDIF output
2)  Double check that the cable is not mistakenly connected to the Composite video output (this is the mistake I personally made once).

The setting looks harmless, and in any event, there is no setting to prevent output of S/PDIF signal.

I'm only trying to get redbook out of the SPDIF. I'm aware that SACD can't feed through that connection

The cable is definitely connected to the coaxial output. I'll try an optical able to see if there's any difference.

In the instructions it appears to say that one can't simultaneously feed analog through the audio output jacks and digital through the SPDIF. Is that true? My Denon allows such connection. If that is the case I would have to connect the analog interconnects everytime I wanted to lsiten to a SACD.

Thanks.

Problem solved. How? I don't know. Tried an optical cable. That worked. The switched back to the coaxial and then that worked, too.

Do you believe there is a burn in period for the Nuforce Oppo?

Thanks for the help.

I don't think the burn-in on a coaxial is that dramatic 

On the sound, they would need about 50 hours to sound really good, and continue to improve towards 100 hours.  Due to the fact that there is no capacitor in the signal path, the initial burn-in would sound dramatic, and then the magnitude of change starts to taper off after 50 hours.
