New SMSL C-100 DAC

There's a 20% off coupon at Amazon right now.

Prices fluctuate a bit, because they have to establish a higher price point to be able to rabate a bit from there...

Did you send a bug report to Apple? They read and fix things like this. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macos.html

I don't use Apple. Besides, this is an issue with the C100 (and many other such devices). Upon alerting Aoshida of it, they investigated and provided a firmware update which has largely fixed the problem.

have You got a link to the changed firmware ?

Aoshida has asked me to not distribute it, and I will honour their request. However, do email Aoshida and enquire if you can obtain a copy (after describing the issue). They do provide good support.

That is a strange behaviour. Once there is a known issue and the company has a workaround for it, why would it provide it in such a secret manner? That isn't exactly screaming "fair attitude" to me.

Same attitude here. Why would Aoshida keep a firmware "secret", resolving a known behavioral bug... ?

Maybe some cultural aspects at play here, who knows...

Wonder if it's a beta release and they'll fold it into a future GA firmware release?
