So I got my Keces DA-151 and this thing has completely upped my digital audio game ... I am very happy with it.
Running out of my Mac G3 Pismo laptop(10.3.9) USB out > Keces>Preamp>300B tubes>Klipsch La Scalas ..... the sound is to die for and the system works flawlessly.
Running out of my Mac G4 iBook laptop (10.5.2) USB out > Bottlehead tube amp > Senn 600's .... It sounds awesome for about 4 mins ..... then the signal drops and I get HISSSSSS that blow my ears drums.
I have tried both USB ports. I read somewhere that some USB ports go to sleep even though the computer is NOT set to sleep for awhile. I am plugged into AC and have the computer set to Never sleep and the hard drive to Not spin down.
Any thoughts ... I also have a Mac Mini(10.4.9) here ... I have not tested on that one yet as it is not in a good place for the headphone rig.
