I've got a Zen Mini mk3 connected to a Devialet Expert 120

I've selected 'Analogue/Coax/Opt' as the output and connected it to a digital input on the devialet. When I play something I get no output. I only get sound when the Devialet is connected to the Zen by USB as well. If I unplug the the USB sound stops, if I unplug the coax the sound stops.

The weird thing is that I don't have USB enabled on the devialet and it is definitely set to 'Digital 2' which is the spdif input.

To make sure i understand, can it be phrased this way: you are not able to get audio via coaxial when that is the only connection method? It only seems to work when you also include a USB cable between the devices?
