Mac OS: DSD playback to Chord Hugo TT goes silent [Solved]

Thanks for the help, I very much appreciate it.

I disabled bitstreaming and the problem is the same. However, if I disconnect the Hugo, the files play just fine through the Mac mini speakers.

Also, the same DSF files play fine on my Astell & Kern AK380.  So it looks like it's something related to the Hugo.

Awesome Donkey:
How's the Hugo connected to the Mac? USB? It *could* be a bad cable, hmmm.

cantara256:
USB to USBH input. All other file formats play fine and have been fine for two years.

So a few more hours of swapping cables, trying different USB ports and optical input through two Macs and an AK380, and the conclusion is that the USB board on my Mac mini is hosed. :(

The cable is fine; everything works perfectly through my other Mac. But two different cables from the "bad" Mac to either USB port on the Hugo give the same problem. On non-DSD tracks the problem happens too, it just takes a little longer to occur and doesn't stop the music completely, just starts pausing here and there. None of this was happening two weeks ago.

Of course, the warranty on the damaged USB Mac expired last month. ::) Thankfully I can just swap them.

Anyway thanks for your help. Hope this helps anyone else.

Final settings:
Audio Device: HugoTT (Core Audio), Integer mode enabled
Output Encoding: none
Bitstreaming: Yes (DSD)

Hi guys, am facing exactly same issue as @cantara256. Hugo TT going silent after a few seconds or minutes depending upon the audio files format. Wasn't very clear on how the issue  was resolved by @cantara256. Pls can someone assist? Thanks a lot.
