Has anyone face the problem when using macbook pro, mojo, audirvana plus to play dsd file and during playback it paused sometime?

I do nit think it is the problem with ram(16g) and I set audirvana to extreme high priority.

OS X El Capitan has issues with USB audio output to some devices. It's all over the interwebs but I didn't pay much attention to the exact cause or exact version number as I generally don't waste my time with DSD. What I do remember is that requiring DSD over DoP combined with the El Capitan audio issue seems to be a factor with the Chord DACs.

Is the original Omega still preferred over the SR009?

I have used the SR-007 for a couple of months and found the sound somewhat darker than Lambda headphones. The 009 is known to be brighter hence the frequent discussions about pricy tube amplifiers. My 007 works very well with the Stax SRM-727II. It has line in so can accept either my Mojo or MX-DAC. Given my usage I should have bought a 2qute but they are rare second hand and maybe brighter than Mojo - not good for a tinnitus suffer.

To be honest, EW9 is a baby W1000x sounds very similar to its bigger brother.
Very sweet mids especially super duper good for female vocals!

Thanks for the comparison.
In my book a similar sound to the ATH W1000X is a good thing :wink:

EW9 is awesome stuff. But it has basically zero isolation. I still have a set. Beautiful. Simply sublime.

Maybe I should dig my EW9 out. Haven't used them for years! Should be good with a portable tube amp.

Recently I purchased a Lenovo 10" Tablet which instantly worked natively with all the DAC's I've tried so far.. The Tablet was originally for movies (and still is) so we purchased a gooseneck stand which allows it to hover above my bed. I had the cables handy to connect Mojo and now control Mojo from my bedside using the 10" tablet.
 

 
 
Suits me just fine as I listen in bed a lot.

Thanks for this further info.
Will look out for a pair :D
BTW cable seem to be interchangeable with 3.5mm TRS to dual 3.5mm TRS, is this right? Seems I got fooled by a pic, so no interchangeable cable... Anyway still interested :)

Cheers

EW9 not easy to find as it stopped production 10 years ago

I got mine from HK via Shenzhenaudiostore in China. That was about four years ago, though. I used to use them with an iBasso P4 (or a Little Dot Mk. III OTL tube amp).
