leggoslave Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well it seems Yosemite has broken the functionality of the working Mavericks hiFace driver. I'm not holding much faith in M2Tech developing a new driver so it's up to our ..erm maverick coders to help out once again. panickingas please step-up.. iMac i5 w/ ROON > HP Stream w/ Fidelizer > Intona Industrial > Singxer F-1 DDC > ABBAS DAC3.1SE > Line Magnetic LM-518IA > Altec 604-8G in Custom 350L Cabinets + REL R-528 Link to comment
wgscott Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This is why I bought a USB to SPDIF coax converter that doesn't require a driver. Link to comment
leggoslave Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 This is why I bought a USB to SPDIF coax converter that doesn't require a driver. Bill, I'm a bit of a signal chain purist, so the intention's always been to limit components but I suppose, and in hindsight, getting a driver-less converter some time ago would have mitigated all the faffing about. iMac i5 w/ ROON > HP Stream w/ Fidelizer > Intona Industrial > Singxer F-1 DDC > ABBAS DAC3.1SE > Line Magnetic LM-518IA > Altec 604-8G in Custom 350L Cabinets + REL R-528 Link to comment

Maybe with Yosemite USB works as before Mavericks, again.

That's a bit of good news. Yosemite seems nice, so I hope I'll be able to use it without having to sacrifice my cute little hiFace.

thrang Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I just installed DP3 of Yosemite, then the M2Tech Mavericks driver, and all seems fine with my original Young-.

SavantGarde Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I installed Yosemite Public Beta 3 (OS X 10.10 (14A361p)) yesterday and my hiFace (original) works without issues using M2Tech's Mavericks driver. Tested using Audirvana Plus 2.

leggoslave Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up guys. ? Upgraded to Beta 3 and tested on A+ 1.5.12, A+ 2.01 and Amarra 3.0 Symphony.. all now working beautifully. Integer mode enabled in A+ as well. I didn't need to re-install the Mavericks driver either. The Yosemite upgrade must've unlocked the kext file. BTW.

I hope it's a stupid user problem... The M2Tech guys have posted a driver for Yosemite! http://www.m2tech.biz/it/mavericks_install.html you have to delete the old driver per the procedure listed. It's working! 2012 MBP (OSX 10.11 and Amarra Symphony w/IRC)-> Revelation Dual Conduit USB -> Berkeley Alpha USB -> Verastarr Silver Signature AES -> Devialet D250-> Siltech 550L -> KEF 104/2 (Steve Nugent Custom).

RichardHolbrook Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks! Have you noticed any difference in sound quality? The Mavericks driver is still working fine for me so weighing whether to upgrade. Richard Link to comment
