Hello. Since upgrading to Big Sur, I have been getting very infrequent dropouts (maybe once every 2 hours). I am using a Schiit Eitr to Modi Multibit DAC.
Thanks.
Can you send me a copy of the “Debug Info”? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info
Note: By clicking on the Debug Info button, Audirvana automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message
Thanks for your response.

Do you have the same issue when you are using your mac mini speakers?
No, but I hardly ever use them.
The thing is, I can go 12 hours without any dropouts, and then get 2 dropouts within an hour. I guess it points to a problem with Big Sur, since that is the only change that has been made to the system.
Does it happens with any kind of frequency you try to play?
I mostly play 16/44. But it happens with 24/96 also.
Something I should perhaps mention, this is like deja vu, because I went through this problem on macOS a few years ago. Back then, it was determined that the daemon Timed was causing the dropouts and it was ultimately fixed (after a very long, long time) by Apple.
