I would like a SUSVARA because... I am a believer, not a doubter.

Can anyone state sonic differences between the Chord Hugo TT and the Pavane.  I have the Stax 009's and BHSE and am between these two dacs...

No one has an opinion on this cable?  I have seen a few second hand ones sold here so there must be some experience that can be shared...

I am looking to hear from anyone that's using the Siltech Royal Signature Duchess Crown headphone cable.  I intend to use it with my HD800 but cannot audition it.  Any experience with this cable out there, especially with the HD800's?

I am not interested in buying both, but selecting between either.  I can get the Siltech at half price and the Forza is relatively low-priced anyway.  'Leaning towards the Siltech but can't audition it.  

Has anyone tried the Forza Noir Hybrid HPC cable and/or the Siltech Duchess Crown cable with the Stratus/HD800 combination? Am very interested in either of these cables but have not heard them.  Any comments from people with experience with either of these combos?

Ok, that make sense.  In my case however, the problem occurs with two MacBook Pros and a MacMini - and that's why I know it's an issue with the MHA100.   BTW, I, too, am in a Mac-centric environment.  

What makes you believe it was your particular MacMini?  Did you try it with other MacMinis / other PC and the issue was not there?  If so, I can understand how you have reached your conclusion.  In my case, I have tried it on three different Macs and all have the same effect.  The common...

Well, I hate to think that the cure is such an easy and cheap option.... you would think that this $99 circuitry was incorporated into the $4,500 McIntosh.  Anyway, this does indicate that there are others with the same or similar problem... I wish McIntosh does something about it.  I will...

    John, I love my MHA100 too, as do I the other 3 McIntosh units I own, and I have discussed its greatness on this thread a while back, but just because I love it it doesn't mean I shouldn't discuss the issue I have with it, especially since it affects the unit on a daily basis.  Also, allow...

Yes, your second problem sounds similar to what I am experiencing.  Sometimes the Macbook Pro no longer sees the MHA100 (driver drop-out, and therefore no sound) and other times the sound drops off even though the MHA driver is still seen by the OS (no driver drop-out).  Anyway, if I get a...

Just did now.  

I am using a late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite (10.10.4) and this problem occurs with anything that runs on the computer (whether it's iTunes/Pure Music, web browsers, iMovie, etc. - basically anything that outputs audio).  I also tried a second laptop with the same results.

Hi all.  I am having an issue with the MHA100 and was wondering if others have been experiencing it too.  Although the unit sounds great, whilst working, it has a serious (software?) glitch:  The USB signal often drops out, requiring a shut down/start up each time.  Sometimes I even have to...

  Thanks sfo1972....  I was using the Weiss DAC202 and then the DAC in the Burson Conductor but now am only using the MHA100 as an integrated.  The MHA is also powering the speakers.  The speakers are no big deal at all (I have them as a secondary listening method - I use the headphones most of...

  Well, that's the point I was trying to make:  Up until now, I had separate power amplifier, separate DAC and separate headphone amplifier for my desk.  There are surely advantages in some areas with separates, but in my 'old age' I am streamlining things and the MHA100 does an amazing job at...

Well, apart from a CD/Pre car audio head unit and the MC275 many years ago, I have had little experience with McIntosh products.  With my HD800s, I used my DNA Stratus and the Burson Conductor (with Weiss DAC202), but today I tried the MHA100...  well, I must say, I have not enjoyed a musical...

No, no error messages when I run the commands.

I just tried this too.  Twice.  No luck.  What now??  I don't want to revert to previous OS X version.... there must be a fix.  Emailed Burson but they have not responded.

Well, I re-tried the whole process and realise that this doesn't actually get the driver started in my case (Loaded=No).  When listening, it works for a short while then distorts until no sound is heard.   I have a MacBook Pro 17in (2012 version).   Any ideas?

  This did not work for me. Nor did this!  I seemed to work until I restarted the Mac.   Any ideas?

How durable are the Senn IE80?  Could they withstand the occassional sweat bead??

I am looking to buy an IEM for daily use that has audiophile-quality.  Problem is, I want to use it for daily workouts so I want them to be durable and somewhat resistant to humidity (at least).  I have the Sennheiser 685i for workouts (have the HD800s for home use) but not happy with the sound...

      Thanks Blink66 & R Giskard...  I am so curious about hearing the HDVD800 with the HD800's and the only reference point is my Burson Conductor...
