digital output dropping after ios 10.3.1 update

I have had the same issue with Oppo products. The Oppo customer support told me that they are out of ideas. Everytime they fix something Apple comes along with a new firmware that causes new issues.

I talked to Apple (1hr on the phone + 20 mins genius bar). They said that it is an issue of the 3rd party manufacturer and I should only use Apple products. I showed them the MFi label. Then they told me to wait for iOS11.

I decided to move away from Apple after 10 years.

Please don't blame 3rd party/MFi products for this. It is 100% Apples fault.

When Steve Jobs died, Apple died too. It's sad but true.

This is extremely disappointing (Link to this post )

I also suspect some combinations of hardware and iOS after 10.0. Since 11.0 and 11.01 not only didn't help but also had other issues (slowness and incredible battery drain), I went back to 10.3.3. After I downgraded while I still could, I plugged in the Chord Mojo using the CCK USB3 and a Lightning into that to power, as a test. Not expecting much, surprisingly everything worked again. I listened for 5 hours or so without any issue whatsoever. It reminded me how nice that is. As soon as I switched to the older but simpler, smaller USB2 CCK, the old issues came back.

I'm saying this only to let others know of that experience.

I will buy a DAP and forget Apple, Chord Mojo, and Chord Electronics. I unfortunately still need my iPhone for work, but will drop it as soon as feasible. Even between Apple products (my MacBook and iPhone), software doesn't sync as it should, and inconsistencies show up between the supposedly synced data of various Apple apps, e.g., my address book and calendar, that go against the reason I adopted them in the first place: ease and compatibility.

I hope others have better luck. Apple's lost its vision.

Same here. Cannot connect to my E17K anymore. Used to work wonderfully.

It was working fine under 10.2, what changed?

You won't be able to Dale. Apple aren't signing the previous iOS anymore

Add AudioQuest Dragonfly to the list of DACs with this problem. And there are plenty of reports of people who have it despite using the Apple CCK and/or USB-3 CCK.

I have an Oppo HA-2 DAC amp and have the same issue when using my iPhone 6S. I called Oppo and it is a known issue with iOS 10.3.1. We just have to wait and hope the next update will fix the problem

please fix this apple so many of use external dacs even oppo which is mfi certified is not working.

Hello you can add an another USB dac problem with Encore mDSD. NOT WORKING since iOS 10.3 beta. Please find an issue.

10.3.2 has been released today, has that fixed the issue? I'm at work so can't update yet but have an oppo ha-2 that drops out every few minutes.

No. I updated last night. Audio still cutting out using a Chord Mojo. Gutted!

I get it still using the long lightning cable on both iPhone 6s and 7 on IOS 10.3,1

I'm still seeing the issue with 10.3.2 and my Oppo HA-2SE.

Thanks all for the replies. Really irritating but I'm thinking of buying a separate DAP as well. This really ***** that Apple would not recognize this and fix it with 10.2.3 update!!
