Gustard U16 - the first USB Interface featuring ESS USB chip

[Fibre101]

Could someone tell which toggle i have to switch on the Gustard to match with Holo Audio Dacs?

I can't remember which of the two buttons but you hold down down one if them and the left upper corner, the mode switches to psa,gsd,holo,lkh.

The one on left. Holding it for a couple of seconds will change it to the next choice

I know this is an old thread but maybe someone can help. The only time I can get me 2021 MacBook Pro to recognize the connected Gustard U16 via USB is if I insert a USB hub in between. With a simple USB cord it doesn't work. Suggestions??
Thanks,
David

Are you using the same cables every time?
It suggests problem with the power provided by USB

I did have success with an older MacBook Pro and a USB A- USB B cable but with a newer MacBook and a USB C cable I have to use a hub to get the computer to recognize the U16.

 

[rafabro]

Yeah, so that clearly suggests what I said about power being delivered by the cable or Mac USB.

 

[davidbea]

So a USB A > USB B cable transfers power but a USB C > USB B doesn't? The hub I have inserted into the second scenario is not a powered hub.

Then it is unusual. Try different cables maybe.

I have tried numerous USB A > USB C cables with no luck. Suggestions on a brand/model that does provide power? Thanks.

 

[rafabro]

Any ordinary one should.

It is weird.

 

[davidbea]

You're right. They should work but no USB A > USB C cables have so far.
