New AES3/USB interface?

Hey all, I’m looking for a new way to interface my PMC TwoTwo 5 system with my MacStudio. I’ve currently got a Mutec MC-3 +USB unit connecting via AES3 (digital) but I’m having an issue where my PMC units will reset every so often during audio playback. I’ve had both PMC monitors and the sub replaced and I’ve since upgraded from an iMac Pro to the MacStudio — and still seeing this odd behavior. The only thing I can think to try is a different way to interface the PMC system with my computer.

My PMC studio monitors are active with on board DACs

Does anyone know of anything else out there that delivers the same (or better) options as the Mutec? At a minimum, it needs to have AES3, USB and DSD support.

Any help is appreciated

The Mutec will mute when the signal lock is lost,  this is probably normal, input from Mac playing up?

The USB cable should be rated for class 2 transmission, that will at least solve one drama. The other possibility is the cpu is just busy at the wrong time and interrupts USB.

Many other causes, loose corroded connections. 

Try a different player, jriver or Audirvana?
