Recently upgraded from a 2017 15" MBP to a 2019 16" MBP, and experienced very frequent drops in audio that require the usb cable to be unplugged and replugged back in to reset the connection.
I am now currently running the LCX amp portion of this dac/amp, via a FiiO E10K acting as my dac, using the exact same Micro USB cable that I had connected to the SDAC. I have no issues with audio at all on my MacBook using this FiiO dac. The usb cable is fine, and the amp itself still works great.
The SDAC portion however, clearly has issues with the new generation MacBook Pros (possibly other current generation Macs as well). You'll see lots of similar complaints on the SDAC discussion page with no real response from Grace Design.
I don't know who is at fault for this. Some might say it's Apple, some might say it's Grace Design. All I know is that my FiiO E10K works perfectly as a dac for my MacBook, and the SDAC doesn't. Just leaving this here in case anyone else happens to experience a similar issue.

joelfongI´m having a similar issue with the cable. I´ve already tried 2. I´m going to buy a new one if this doesnt fix the issue then it just does not work for me.

joelfongChiming in to echo the experience. SDAC works fine until I pause the music. Once paused and restarted, audio is silent until I unplug and replug USB.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
