mwheelerk Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Daniel Weiss wrote me that the DAC2 has a problem with Yosemite which will be fixed by a new driver next week. Obviousley they are surprised by new OS like every time. Apple seems to gives them only short note. The only way they aren't aware of OS beta programs is if they are not a registered Apple developer and that would be surprising. Even an average user like myself was aware of it for several months.

orgel Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Does iTunes 12 require Yosemite? Will it also run under Mountain Lion? The App Store app wants me to upgrade iTunes to 12.0.1 on my work machine (which is currently running Mountain Lion), so that's more or less the answer to one of your questions. I haven't done the upgrade yet, but I will later today. I can post then and provide a definitive answer. I don't know if versions of iTunes earlier than 12 run under Yosemite. Wouldn't be surprised if Yosemite doesn't want to run anything earlier. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment

Le Concombre Masqué Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 hOW many processes are running with Y ? following the Thread: OSX Optimisation from scratch (thank you Paul J !) I'm down to 64 MAVERICKS processes, some 46. When I went from say 77 to 74, notably killing 2 usb related processes I was very happy. Then I killed 10 more. is it my mood my physiology today, the general power supply ? I did not have the greatest listening session thereafter. So, is cutting ubiquitously positive ? Provided I did not kill processes that would trigger backlash, that there's no increase in cpu usage that would show something is wrong, it should be. Maybe I'm just anxious. Or stunned by what I heard. I did not enjoy greatly but sure discovered many things in the high register, including while listening to dsotm ! I most probably have an objectively more transparent system but was not so happy at the time I first listened to it. I don't think I will reload the processes but rather accept what I hear, maybe not as sweet, maybe paradoxically frustrating for getting closer to live music and reminding me that, while it helps me getting more 3D, I had a terrific room a few years ago and that it was less bizarre to have such spatial extension are you listening to AP's dsd CCR or the 24/192 ?

You don't specify which Mini you have but I had issues with my 2012 Mini not connecting to the XMOS USB board in my DAC. This was with Mavericks. The problem was due to the Mini having USB 3.0 ports (vs. USB 2.0). Yes, I know the USB 3.0 ports are supposed to be backward compatible but that was not the case in my situation. To solve the issue, I installed a USB 2.0 hub (cheap $20 unit) that worked ever time. I have since moved on to the Schiit Wyrd hub. No idea if this is the same issue you are experiencing but if you have a USB hub available, you might give it a go. Eric Audio System Link to comment

Raym87 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 What did you do? Or miss. My assumption being that the converter is powered by the USB port was, that because the power led was on there was a good connection. Wrong! Pulled the USB cable and plugged it back in and voila. I have no recollection of being anywhere near the cable or messing with anything on the rack since I last used the system so I dont see how this could happen. That mystery is likely to remain just that. MacMini 8Gb OSX > Pure Music / Bitperfect / Amarra / iTunes > Synology DS215J NAS > Schiit Wyrd > Stello U3 > Naim Uniti Atom, Harbeth P3ESR.

I had a few free minutes, so I installed iTunes 12.0.1.26 on my work Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. Seems to run fine with no obvious issues, although it's freaky to see the Yosemitesque chrome when running 10.8.5. And what's up with the red iTunes icon? --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment

pitbull Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Daniel Weiss should know better, he is a Pro!The Yosemite trial has been around for months, so there is no excuse for at least not alerting customers and communities like ours. Sad to say but I informed Daniel in July that my DAC202 wasn't working on my early 2008 MacPro with the Yosemite Beta - system could see the DAC on the FireWire bus fine, but the DAC wasn't showing up in the sounds preferences. Daniel replied it was likely just a Yosemite Beta issue - rather annoying that they've seemingly done nothing since then and only now are looking to fix it. Link to comment
