[BC] AES/EBU issue

At one of my clients we decided to use AES/EBU digital audio from the STL
output.  It comes from an older Moseley DSP6000D to a Titus 3 DRX switcher,
and then to the Orban processor.  The cable is only a few feet long with XLR
connectors.

Problem is, the Moseley AES/EBU is not detected by either the Titus or Orban
units.  Both will detect a wide range of speeds which includes the Moseley
32KHz rate.  The internally created output from the Titus is accepted by the
Orban, and a separate digital input is detected by the Titus.  Both of those
do work on inputs, just not with the Moseley outputs.

There are two Moseley DSP6000D units, main and backup.  Neither are detected
by the Titus or Orban units.  I took some 'scope pictures of the DSP6000D
outputs and they do appear OK according to the Moseley tech.  I've had a
number of phone and email conversations with the Moseley tech and he feels
the units are OK.  There are no settings or adjustments within the DSP6000D
that affect the digital output.  I did get a return authorization, but they
feel it wouldn't help.

The appropriate tech people at all three companies have been helpful with
suggestions, but nothing has worked.  I have no problem with them at all.

So, my question is, does anyone have a situation where this particular
Moseley unit is connected to either a Titus or Orban box and it works?  Has
anyone had a similar problem where it didn't work?
