I've tried several different cables and there's no difference in behaviour.
Just had another try today and it's definitely a thing. Started Moode and it thinks the DAC is offline. Switched to HDMI + restart, DAC disappears from list, and two further restarts of Moode and on the second the DAC is detected. Seems to me that something is only periodically receptive to making a USB connection, as if there's a timeout that has to complete. I suspect the DAC as that's the thing that stay on during Moode restarts.
I've been in the habit of switching off the DAC before I shut Moode down. I'll leave the DAC on, shut Moode down, then turn the DAC off.
Unison? My Gungnir is a few years old, and is running Schiit Gen 5 I think. Thing is though, I've been running Moode OK for some time and all of these connection problems started when I upgraded from the last 6.* to 7.0. Not saying it's Moode's fault, but that clearly there's been a shift in USB handling somewhere in the OS that's provoking something in the DAC. Or perhaps the DAC has developed a fault...
I'll run a couple more tests and then contact Schiit to see if they've got any sage advice.
