Dbwl, It is impossible to connect that cable backwards. It has a male and female end. It will only plug in one way at the transport leaving you only one option at the dac. The INPUT(AES/EBU) and OUTPUT(BALANCED)ports on the dac are opposing.
Is there a trick here? re AES/EBU
I brought home a balanced cable (MIT proline digital ref) to try out. I ran it between my Theta Data Basic II and my Theta Gen 5 A......select the appropriate inputs on the Gen 5 a....&....NO SOUND.
Is there some lind of internal switch or some other legerdemain that needs to be done? I have already taken the cover off of both units and the XLR sockets seem to be connected appropriately
Thanks
