Swapped out the preamp. Still doesn't work. No sound. No static. I am going to try swapping the tubes in the preamp. Do tubes stop working just because of age?
I am try swapping out the dac. But the current Bel canto dac is giving a green light for bits received.
I hope that the problem is upstream. I find it hard to believe that both speakers or both mono blocks died just due to lack of use over 6 months.
Doubtful both monos or both speaker or both cablea would not work. If you have ruled out the preamp that leaves the dac or squeez box. I would pick up a used dvd player with rca outs at a second hand store and put in a cd or dvd.Also double check all settings of the dac and squeez box. Come to think of it that's what I would do first.

You can hook up the cell phone to SixPacs using this adapter. In case there is no jack, you can use an USB DAC dongle. Good luck.
One issue that I had some time ago took me a while to figure out. I turned on the system and suddenly, it didn't work for music. I checked everything. Rebooted the RPi4 etc. Finally, I realized my Topping DAC had been turned off and when it comes up, it defaults to another source. All I had to do was to select the USB connection and bingo, done.
Check you DAC to be sure it's listening from your streamer.

Does squeeze box have volume control?
Can you go directly from DAC to amps?
I have 105 year old tubes, doubt all your tubes would just keel over.
Sanity check on all the fuses?
