    Comparing Oppo HA-1 & Benchmark DAC-2 HGC

    Oppo HA-1 with Mac Mini HDMI/USB Conflict

    I've had my HA-1 for a couple of weeks now and I love it so far. I have one issue that I've emailed Oppo support about and they've not seen it before and suspect the issue is on my side. When I use the HA-1 with my 2014 Mac Mini (OSX 10.10.3) via USB it works fine. However, if I then plug my...
