Have you changed your mind since then? Either way, thanks!

 
I'm very happy with the WA7.  As to whether I hear any sonic difference vs. my solid state amp?  I don't think so.

nope still haven't seen anything... would love to.

I have this, too. Now that you mention re-connecting, I might have seen that once or twice. But, I just tried it and no difference. Have you found any solution to this?

No, I still need to re-connect the USB cable to get all sampling options. A minor inconvenience but it always works.

This time, the re-connecting took. This will be frustrating. Seems like there should be a fix for it.

What platform are you on and OS version?  Do you have third-party apps e.g. Skype, PureMusic, or DAW taking the audio devices priority?  Please email us at info@wooaudio.com for additional troubleshooting.

I'll send an email, too. I had it on both Mac: Mavericks (I forget the exact version number, but the latest) and now on Yosemite (v10.10). No other audio things running that I know of.

I have had the same issue with 10.8, 10.9 & 10.10.  As everyone else has stated, usually unplug/plug the USB cable fixes it.  But on occasions mine has gotten completely stuck at 48.  I found the following steps help resolve this..
 
Unplug WA7 USB --> Set Audirvana preferred audio device to MacBook built-in output ---> Plug-in WA7 USB back in --> Set WA7 to Audirvana preferred device again

often times third-party audio apps (Audirvana, PureMusic, BitPerfect, Amarra, etc.) or VOIP apps wants to take priority in your system's sound.  Can't blame them... they want everyone to use their app exclusively.    Another issue is DACs that requires drivers.  Those drivers often pushes everything else to the side and hog the priority.  I won't mention any names here but that's my experience when testing DACs.  
 
Do check the Preferences setting in those apps to ensure audio devices are routed correctly.

Noted, I just use Audirvana to resolve the problem when it happens... for some strange reason doing that in Audirvana get's it un-stuck in the OS, but prior to doing that in Audirvana, Mac OS X with nothing else loaded would only detect at 48.

After a ton of similar issues with Audirvana I have switched to JRiver and it seems to be much better all around.  There are still little issues here and there compared to say iTunes but the sound quality is excellent and the interface is pretty decent too.  It now also supports movie playback as well so if that matters to you...

Do you have better sound quality from the same audio files with JRiver vs iTunes?  Trying to get my head around this.  
 
Thanks.

We use Amarra at shows and on my personal system.  No issues...

yes, better sound same files.

Interesting.  I'm simply running iTunes and have not explored alternative music software for my Apple transports.  I prefer simplicity, but I'm afraid I may be getting further and further away from it going down this audiophile rabbit hole...
