I cannot get my USB driver to work
I tried the following
1) Another USB cable
2) Re-installl USB driver
3) Another computer
The driver is not showing connected when I go to control panel
I cannot think of anything else to try

What does Manage Computer | Devices say when you connect it? Do you get an unrecognised device or nothing? Have you tried it in a different USB port?

It says Device not connected I tried it on my Laptop and did try another USB port also
I am going to try a firmware update today that what NAD has recommended if not have to arrange a service

Firmware update did not work so without music for a few weeks until the NAD gets repaired

Bad luck, John. Is there any kind of pinhole reset switch in the NAD?

Yes did the reset using the pinhole but still not reading

Do you have a spare DAC (Caiman?) to use with the Philips power amp?

Does the MOBO in your computer have an optical out, like mine? If so it might be worth your while picking up one of these to use in the interim. Not the last word in high fidelity, obviously, but I think you'll be surprised at how good they actually are for the pittance they cost. At least you could have some music for a minimal outlay. |

I have a Halide Bridge converter - inputs USB and outputs RCA - that I can loan you, John.
If your DAC has an RCA digital input that would tide you over.

Thanks everyone
Spent most of the evening sorting it out
Tried laptop with different USB cable and got a connection
Had tried USB cable that usually works and no device
Anyway a hour later finally getting sound from my server via the basic USB cable without the jitterbug and ifi purifier
Sound not quite as good due to the USB signal not being as clean but that's me being fussy

It shows how you have to have two of everything for troubleshooting purposes. Well done, John!
