Audio Dropouts with New (2018) Mac Mini [Solved -- Time Machine]
Dennis in FL:
It was a DFF hi res file
I just increased the buffer back to 250 ms and so far it's OK......but I need to test longer.

" ... Some [apple mac] applications have trouble with audio above 16/44.1. If any applications you use don’t play audio correctly after making this change, you’ll need to switch back to 44100.0 kHz and 2ch-16bit—at least while using those programs."

My main Mac is pretty beefy: 2014 27" iMac, quad core i7, 32 GB RAM, SSD main disk. I really think the SSD is the part that matters, but it's an educated guess.

One of the reasons to buy JRiver MC is that it handles audio sample rate/bit depth changes for you transparently. I have never had to touch the Audi Midi settings on my Mac while using MC. It does it all for you for all audio rates supported by your DAC.

I have a very similar Mac...except I have a 3TB fusion drive. the rest is the same....32GB RAM, i7 quad core, etc.
I'm going to give Apple a call and see if there's anything they know.
In the mean time, I'll try a mega buffer.
