    Test it by hooking up a cd player as a transport. Still no sound, finger points at DAC.

    How old is the iMac?
    It might have Toslink optical out of the headphone jack if it's one of the older ones.

    try a mini toslink to toslink from mac(think the 3.5mm socket is also a toslink) and bypass the bit inbetween..OR It might be a interface problem. IE if I set my dac to anything bar 16/48 then spotify or amazon wont play so check the dac is set to 16bit/48khz

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Which means that it's likely to have Toslink on board.
    All you have to do is find out where to turn it on, and connect a Toslink (with appropriate adapter) between the iMac and DAC.
