I am passing the front left and right signals via XLR from the 11a to my 2 channel preamp which has a cinema bypass. However I am not getting any sound from my front left and right speakers. When I select a digital input instead of 7.1 bypass, such as coaxial from my DVR, I do get sound from the left and right. Why isn't it working with the 7.1 bypass? Will it not pass the left and right input from single ended to the balanced output?
You said that you own the 12, and then your 95 is connected to the 11a!

* Don't matter;
1. Oppo 95: RCA analog 7.1 Out connected to the Cary's RCA analog multichannel In.
2. Oppo 95: XLR (balanced) stereo Out connected to the Cary's XLR stereo In.


** Are you using an additional separate stereo preamp different than your Cary one?

*** I believe that the way you are making your connections is the cause of your issue.

**** Please explain better what your goal is and how exactly your actual connections are made now. ...Because right now, it seems to me that there is a slight complexity here. ..Analog/Digital, and RCA/XLR connections. ...And that "2 channel preamp" of yours with that 'cinema bypass'.
It is confusing to me, and I believe that this complexity adds (is the cause) to your particular issue here. No?
