RE: Windows or Apple for 2014/15?

I've owned six ASYNC DACs over the years and none of them had audio 'drop-outs' on my Mac, even w/o OS 'optimizations'.

Be sure that the DAC is on it's own HighSpeed USB 2.0 bus not shared with other devices. Additionally, do not place it on the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed bus.

Mac System Report will show you the USB Device Tree:
Applications -> Utilities -> System Information


The info that Ayre provides should help and it's linked below. Note that the System Report in the screen shot above from Ayre does not show USB 3.0 SuperSpeed because USB 3.0 was not implemented in most computers when Ayre posted their instructions.
