XDA-2 problems

[tedc]

Sorry, the quote didn't do quite what I thought it would.  

To follow on to this conversation, I check for OS and app updates automatically daily.  I have tried the XDA-2 with the latest Mt. Lion release and various  pre-releases (developer stream).  Same problem.  Problem persists across all USB ports on the Mac, and all USB cables I have in hand.  The USB problem exists only with the XDA-2, not with the 3 other DACs I tried.  So, the tests consistently point back to the XDA-2.

A bit more info: I have tried the other ports on the XDA including the  S/PDIF ports. I have also tried other ports on the Mac including its S/PDIF port via Toslink.  For the hell of it, I even tried a Rube Goldberg Special including Thunderbolt to Firewire to S/PDIF (via an M-Audio box) to the XDA-2.  The only consistent problems were with the USB ports connected to the XDA-2 USB port.

I should think Emotiva would be interested in finding the root cause of the problem.  I know (noted above) that one of the techs has seen this same problem with his Mac.  Perhaps someday...

Keep those cards and letters coming...

Is anyone having this problem with Mac's equipped with USB 3.0?

Yes.  I tried a MacBook Air with USB 3, MacBook Pro with USB 3, and Mac mini, again with USB 3.  Same behavior with all three.

Indeed.  Good to know that Eno is able to fix this issue.

Just FYI to this thread, I gave in and purchased the DC-1 DAC. Lo and behold, not USB problem. To be specific, using all of the cables and computers previously mentioned, the USB hang problem noted with the XDA-2 did not and does not occur with the DC-1.

That's one solution anyway. ;-)
