Apologies for not updating you guys on this sooner…
Auralic has acknowledged the issue in the firmware and has agreed to implement our recommended solution.
My understanding is that they release firmware on a monthly cycle, around the start of each month and plan to fix this for the next release.
This is a DAC specific problem–I am guessing it was missed because the current version of the Auralic VEGA is unaffected, and I’m guessing this is where they focus their testing energy.
We have a lot of different USB devices here, and while we aren’t generally in a position to take on the labor associated with performing QA on 3rd-party firmware releases, we offered to help test their next one against our USB DAC collection to ensure that this problem actually gets fixed.
I’ve been told that we will have pre-release access to the firmware. I expect this to happen (the testing and the fixing) early next week.
