@Scuba Devils experience may suggest not.

Perhaps like my battery issue this is just a one off teething or quality issue though.

Yes a disappointing experience. Mine is ready to ship back but awaiting iFi to confirm some questions before I ship. I'm torn between risking a replacement or requesting a refund!

Get a replacement, and if the replacement is still poor, get a refund. It's too good not to give it a second chance.

Yes that's definitely how I'm leaning!

That may be a plan if that is the type of device you are looking for.

My main reason for purchasing the Gryphon was for its 4.4mm Line-in so that I could compare balanced line out from my Cayin A02 module to the module's 3.5mm line-out.

Set the volume to 100 on your Mac and then control the volume only on the Gryphon. On Windows the volume automatically sets itself at 100 when plugging in the Gryphon.

When I change the volume on my mac, that syncs with the gryphon too...how do I stop that?

You don't. You change the volume on the Gryphon only.

You don't. You change the volume on the Gryphon only.

Exactly, so the below issue still surfaces with no clear workaround...

The volume jump issue still exists on the new firmware @iFi audio,@Sebastien Chiu. Was listening to music and changed the volume from my mac and Gryphon's volume jumped up suddenly and almost blew my ears off. Please look into it.

For what it's worth, this is the first time it has happened after the firmware update

For clarity, is the volume jump issue only something that happens with Tidal?

 

[flashdong]

I really don't understand, why some people want to increase the volume on the mac, isn't it more convenient to adjust it on the Gryphon?

sometimes it does. just as frequently though it sets itself to a random value between 50 and 100, at least on windows 10

Really? That's odd. I also have Windows 10 and that's never happened to me so far. I bought it several weeks ago and since it first time I used it, the volume sets itself to 100 on Windows after plugging it in. I control the volume only on the Gryphon after that.

Exactly, I don't understand why you would want to control the volume on two different devices at the same time.

Since Sebastian doesn’t respond to pm’s, you guys hear a piece floating around when you move the gryphon?
I can hear something moving around every time I move the unit. Sounds like a small piece broke off inside the unit.

Could it be loose buttons you are hearing? Other than that I can't recall anything that could get loose from when I had mine apart. Unless you have a "spare" screw or a blob of solder in there. In either case its probably best to stop using it and open a ticket on the iFi website.
