HiHi everyone! Finally I found the forum where all kind of music gear is discussed and it's pretty amazing. I have switched to 220 in April (previously I owned DX90 for last 5 years and before that I had a Xuelin IHIFI 960). I must say I liked DX90 however I just wanted to move on to the new level of sound (and modern user friendly interface with all bells and whistles means a lot today). However since I got my DAP I had never made it work with my Mac Pro 2019. I've read a lot here about Thunderbolt issue with Mac's USB-C ports. I have Parallel Desktop on my Mac and 220 doesn't work in Windows mode either. Wasn't it said in change log that latest firmware was supposed to fix an issue with Mac? I have 1.17.256 (latest I guess), however it still doesn't work. I have tried all kinds of cables but the result is still the same. That's a little annoying. However I can forgive that issue just for that amazing sound. I use IT04, Beyerdynamic T70p and Dunu Titan 5 (just stayed with me, but not used very often). I like IT04 most of all. I have default AMP 1 mk II and so far I am satisfied with it. That was a short story about my way)) So did anyone get an improvement with Mac since new firmware release?
I own the DX220 MAX but am pretty sure it behaves similarly to your Dx 220 against Macbook Pro in DAC mode. I got annoyed like you until I found a usb-c hub which worked

Hope this helps
