Welcome to the annual beg-a-thon for funding our space on 开云体育!

The yearly cost is $220 USD.? Every year we've gotten more than enough from members to pay that bill... and usually a little surplus.? The surplus from last year is $28.73.

So a few of you very kind folks kind of jumped the queue and already sent me money... right now we are at a total of $149.39, including last year's surplus.? So there's another ~$70 to go.

Thanks,
-Scott

It’s going to be same as last year, my email or Jules, but we can wait a couple days. ?Give me a chance to look up the actual numbers.?

Hey, it's that time of year again!? I'm out of town for a couple more days, so I don't have access to my usual pitch and all that stuff. But basically the group costs a couple hundred dollars a year to run, and usually it's paid for by donations.

So it's on your radar now... when I get home I'll look up the amount, see if there's any surplus from last year, and all that stuff.

As always thanks, not just for the support but for the fantastic content we have on this group.

Thanks,
-Scott

, indeed, RME uses it's own ASIO drivers
______________________________________________

YEs ... RME has a good reputation for being expensive - perhaps BECAUSE it is equally well known for maintaining good device drivers long after the product leaves the store. RME is one of the best companies in this regard. Just my take. JHR

Some people have RME Fireface 400/800 working on MacOS up to Sonoma at
least, so it clearly isn't absolutely everything audio on firewire,
though that is certainly what official apple statements would make you
think.

Do RME use their own drivers? Both the traveler and the Headzone are
controlled via Apple Core Sound, so there are no particular drivers.

The trouble with the traveler is that there's is nothing else on the
market with comparable features and functions.

the MOTU may be different however, and it may depend on the manufacturer

As far as I am aware, this is with Apple and everything audio per
firewire. I have the same trouble with my Beyerdynamic Headzone HRTF
processor.

Some people have RME Fireface 400/800 working on MacOS up to Sonoma at least, so it clearly isn't absolutely everything audio on firewire, though that is certainly what official apple statements would make you think.

However, it is possible that different manufacturer drivers use different parts of the apple firewire systems, and that some parts of that genuinely are removed so it may vary by manufacturer, product and driver type.

I haven't tried it myself yet, I'm waiting for a compelling reason to upgrade. I guess that may be simply that Monterey is now unsupported.

More like 10 years or so. But the board has been exchanged by MOTU, a
few years ago.

Why did you have the board changed on your MOTU Traveler Mk3?

The usual trouble. Inserted the firewire plug the wrong way.

well my circuit has P48 at the other end (output) but not at the input I'm trying to protect.

I'm concerned about stray ESD rather than P48 imbalances or plugging pins making contact in the wrong order.

BAV199 has the lowest leakage I've seen, but I'm not sure if its max current and voltage are sufficient.

I'd also welcome any thoughts anyone has on the gate series resistor and how much protection that offers. It should limit the current though not the voltage I would think.?

Would it be better to put that resistor before the BAV199 and the cap, to help protect the BAV199 from over-current?

I am in the same boat regarding my RME fireface interfaces.

however I have read in some forums from multiple sources that in reality the fireface interfaces still work right up to sonoma, even though all the official docs say they don't.

so I'm thinking of updating the mac on which I least need the fireface to work as a test. right now I have no incentive to update though, there's nothing I want in the newer versions.

the MOTU may be different however, and it may depend on the manufacturer drivers and how they work.

I would be grateful if you can open up your Traveler Mk3 and have a look.
MOTU, Oz, tell me nearly every Mk2 had to have its PCB swapped.
You can easily see evidence if this has been done to your unit as the
diodes are large.

Things are a bit hectic here, at the moment, but I will have a look in
the next few days and take some photos so you can see for yourself.

Shame as the Traveler(s) had SOTA portable preamp performance ... if it
wasn't for this problem and the shonky software/drivers.? New MOTUs
don't have quite the same level of LN performance.

My main grief with the MOTU traveler is that I'm stuck with Mac OS
Monterey because those *beeep* at Apple killed the firewire audio
support in all subsequent versions.

yes they are expensive for a donor body - but they look much more solid than a BM800.

The ease of disassembly and the layout of the interior is exactly what I was hoping someone here might know.

BM800s are a pain to get large capsule assemblies inside because of the narrow opening to the basket - I wonder what these are like.
