  1. Hope they do again, great quality last time. Sent from my iPhone using Computer Audiophile
  2. Exciting times with the new chips about to hit the market in these new products. Thanks for sharing.
  3. Excited to learn more as specs are released. Thanks for sharing.
  4. Can't wait to hear how it performs. To share a quick story: I had a specific question about the LANrover, submitted the question on PA Audio's product page late one evening, and woke up to see a personal email from Paul answering my question. Above and beyond service!
  5. MAY UPDATE: 10.11.5 released, still no fix. W4S DAC2 remains incompatible with mac.
  6. Feb 28 update: > W4S has still not created an El Capitan driver for their DAC2 (thank you for lack of product support W4S) > Apple's 10.11.4 public beta does NOT fix the usb driver issue (thank you for ignoring this issue Apple)
  7. Richard: Thanks for the heads up. All: Well I just installed, and big surprise, the DAC incompatibility issue still exists. Thanks for nothing Apple Co. My Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 still does endless reboots of my entire laptop the second the dac is connected to the mac. Awesome... 3.5 months with this OSX bug and counting.
  8. RunHomeSlow, thanks for the tip. Tried a few times (both methods), but no luck. My workaround now is to use the Optical Out connection...but it doesn't sound as nice as USB via WW Platinum into the dac. W4S is offering a discount on upgrading the DAC2 to "driverless", but it's still expensive and becomes almost a 100% sunk cost since I would not use the extra features enabled with the upgrade (I would only benefit from the driverless feature). I agree, that any DAC that's so fragile with the Mac OS it interacts with, should come with a warning label, regardless of brand (I heard even the Esoteric K-03 has similar issues which is a real shame).
  9. Hi Nombedes, no luck with El Capitan yet...and frustration building, given how long this issue has been known and remains unresolved. I woke up today excited that both Apple and Audirvana released software updates (which sounded like would help with USB connections), but after installing both this morning...I'm still having the exact problem: an endless loop of MacBook reboots when the W4S DAC2 is connected to the laptop. Can't believe it's been this long and still no resolution, and NO patch from W4S. In parallel I've been in talks with W4S about what we can do. I've lost all hope that a driver patch from W4S will solve the problem. Only option is to "upgrade" the DAC2 at a significant cost to make it driverless. I'm holding onto one final bit of hope that W4S will "do the right thing" for their customers impacted by this issue. Wherever this ends up, I'll share back within this thread.
  10. Exciting. Very well recorded music last year, looking forward to this.
  11. Very generous and good cause from Dave. Thanks for sharing with us.
  12. RunHomeSlow, thank you for this perspective. Sounds right...if there are general USB issues with El Capitan, the fix will likely come from Apple themselves before device manufacturers catch up with new drivers. Fingers crossed.
  13. Hi, does anyone have recommendations for making the W4S DAC2 USB interface work with El Capitan? This happens to base W4S DAC-2 units, without upgraded components. It's been 6+ weeks waiting for W4S to release a compatible driver, still nothing. If I send the unit in, it can get upgraded and become "driverless", but I'm trying to avoid investing in DAC hardware upgrades just to fix a software problem. Since upgrading to El Capitan, the MacBook completely shuts off and reboots as soon as the USB touches the MacBook (when the other end of the USB is connected to the DAC-2). This even happens when DAC-2 is powered off. No issues before El Capitan upgrade. thanks ryan
