Thank Ken! So its best to use the Mini server model and not just the plain Mini? Can’t wait to get this thing going.

Regards,

Scott

Hello All, seems I will be reviving an old thread here, but I have exactly this question. How do I get my Esoteric K-O1 to work with asynchronous setting HS_2 on usb with mac mini and audirvana. I dowloaded the driver from the esoteric jp website but it doesnt put out correct sound, I have Mac OS X mountain lion 10.8.5... I just purchased my K-01 secondhand now but there was no cd with software drivers in the box... From what I read on this forum, it should work, problems only occur with later OS x...

See my old thread: https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=39088

However it appears your OS is older than mavericks so it should work.

@2fastdriving thx for your reply but thread 39088 talks about K-01X... I have the K-01 non X version... Maybe I should have made that more clear in my post ��

@2Fastdriving, thx for the link to thread 38298, but it talks about a windows based pc with the Esoteric... I have mac mini with OSX Mountian Lion and Audirvana music program. It works with HS_1 setting on K-01 but not with the asynchronous HS_2... which I want to use, because of the great Esoteric clock built in the K-01...
I did install the driver for the K-01 and mac OSX versions 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 from the esoteric jp website first, then hooked up the Esoteric set to usb hs_2 mode... I am suspecting the dowloaded driver is at fault... I tried the Esoteric HR player as well, and same problem with distorted sound... Do you have the original driver for mac that came on an install cd? or would changing to Mac OSX mavericks help? ��

I used the exact same setup (but K03), and only ran into problems when I upgraged past Mavericks. from everything you are saying it "should" work. I downloaded that same driver and it worked for me at the time. That was also a different version of Audirvana at the time. Wish I could help more, but this is one of the big reasons Esoteric came out with the K-01X, it has an asynchronous USB board. Another thing you could do is get the USB upgrade through TAP. But If you are doing all that for an older unit, you may as well get a new K-01XS.

PS: Seriously this is one of the reasons I got rid of my K03!

2fastdriving any idea which version of audirvana you used then, I have an older version at the moment too. I am also wondering if the Esoteric mac driver on the jp website as been changed since you downloaded it. With my previous player from T+A I also had to use an older version from audirvana which dated and mac os which both dated from when the player came out on the market... I am thinking its exactly what is happening now, some version of either driver or mac os is not the right one. Did you have an older version mac os x then mavericks that worked as well?
