Thanks to everyone for the discussion. I believe the problem may be the
DAC output voltage of 3.5mv is a bit too hot for the receiver.
I remember Audio Alchemy had internal jumpers in their DAC to compensate
for just such conflicts. The DAC went back to it's owner. It won't be
replaced.

Some people just can't get over that assumption. Nothing you can
say (or demonstrate) will dissuade them of their delusion. They
will never comprehend the technology and economics of modern
monolithic integrated circuitry.
