One and a half Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 If the combo has worked fine for years, then roll back the OS to a previous version. With the USB drama on El Crapitan, I went back to Mavericks for Audirvana +, still working nicely. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment

Once I got a look at Yosemite's GUI, I realized that I was not an 11-year-old girl, and went back to Mavericks. No difference in SQ with A+ between the two, anyway. Link to comment
jmdesignz2 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 El Capitan's GUI seems ok- Nothing 11 year old about it...

One and a half Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 In order to find a cause, one must look, what's changed recently, I'll bet it's not LIO8 or Decibel, the hardware is still working, so what's left? Do have another MAC to test on? AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment

jrflanne Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I had that problem. Upgraded to El Captan (Mini, audirvana) and began noticing little random pops. It got more and more annoying so I decided to troubleshoot. I was going to try an optical cable and uncovered a Wyrd in my cable box so I hooked it up instead. Fixed the pops. I have no idea why but it surely did. Link to comment
