New Head-Fier
If your motherboard has the new bios 1.2.0.8 Agesa available I Would try that. Updating to the Bios in combination with disabling the power savings for USBs has resolved all of my disconnection issues. Been going strong for the last week now with no drop outs.Yea, supposedly there is a patch via BIOS mid-last year that addresses this, but obviously it hasn't fixed everything. Maybe it's worth giving a try. Also, some people reported a workaround by connecting the usb to a usb hub then into computer.
At this point, I think I'll settle with using toslink; I was back and forth between selling this and getting the RME Adi 2 Dac FS, but it is $500 more and probably not worth it for a casual user like me who only has 1 headphone.
