Hello
I have an older MacBook as my digital source (will be upgrading source in near future) with USB A and HDMI ports and I use Apple Music with an External hard drive for the files.
When listening through USB the music consistently stops after a few minutes and I have to turn my DAC on and off and it runs for another few minutes.
This just started happening, my CD transport through Optical works fine. I have tried different USB cables and different USB ports on both my Mac and DAC
I tried a newer MacBook with a USB-C to USB-A adapter to the DAC USB port and that works fine.
I tried a HDMI from my older mac to the DAC and that works. I guess the question is, is there a sound/quality difference in connecting my MacBook via USB or HDMI. I know that one of the BDA HDMI ports is a faster port so I could get a HDMI 2.2 compatible cable
