Apologies for possibly underestimating your technical knowledge but I just want to make sure you are understanding the pre-out function correctly and have everything hooked up the way that it should.
Pre-out means that the Devialet is no longer the amp driving the speakers. You therefore need an external power amp. The Devialet is now only the volume control and the music source. Power is handled by an external amp.
The connection path is therefore:
- Coax RCA cable in Devialet pre-outs connected to the coax RCA inputs on an external power amp.
- Speaker cables are connected to the power amp and then to the speakers.
If I look at your configurator picture, the only input that is active seems to be ethernet. I am assuming that your source is therefore Roon streaming over ethernet.
Also check:
- mute is not engaged
- ethernet Roon (RAAT) is selected as source on the Devialet
- the RCA cables are connected to the Devialets preouts and not inadvertently to the phono connectors (easy mistake to make)
- You have selected the single ended (RCA) input on your power amp (assuming it takes both single ended and balanced connectors and requires a manual switchover selection between the two)
