We don't.  You could use their forum and link to ours.

It dawned on me today that I haven't heard a dropout in a long time.   

It used to be pretty frequent and annoying.

I still use Time Machine and I have Catalina and the latest MC.   I didn't change any related MC settings since I essentially gave up on trying to fix dropouts.

I also kept a copy of the previous MAC OS (Mohave) with an older MC on a bootable hard drive......I was thinking of testing if dropouts are still on the older versions and if it was a Catalina or MC issue but not entirely sure if I want to beat a dead horse.

Dear guys,

the German computer magazine Mac & I (from Heise Verlag) reported on 08.March 2019 the following statemet regarding the apple mac 2018 audio failure (unfortunately in German):

Mac & i

Apple hat Audioprobleme aktueller Macs im Zusammenspiel mit USB-2-Audiointerfaces in der neuesten Beta-Version von macOS Mojave beseitigt, wie ausgiebige Tests der Mac & i-Redaktion nahelegen. Der auf Audio-Hardware spezialisierte Hersteller RME bestätigte die Vermutung gegenüber Mac & i am Wochenende: Auch dort könne man unter macOS 10.14.4 Beta 5 keine Störungen mehr nachweisen. RME hatte zuvor gewarnt, es gebe im Moment keinen Weg, um einen Mac mini 2018 ohne Audio-Fehler bei der Musikproduktion einzusetzen – solange USB 2 zum Einsatz kommt.
----------------------------------
Translated to English (shortend): Apple reported that problems with core audio interface distortion and usb-2 ports has been fixed. This was also committed also by RME (company specialized on Audio-HW). They tested with version macOS 10.14.4 Beta5 and could no longer detect the failure.

I myself can also not detect any dropouts any longer. Using Mac Mini 2018 with Mojave OSX V. 10.14.6. Even if time machine was up and running I could not detect any dropouts any longer.
For sure this is no guaranty - but maybe worth to test again if having trouble before

Really good news.   Interesting there is no USA announcement.
