Dropouts of Audio via USB to a DAC

Saw this tonight. New behavior. Drops the USB connection randomly: default 17:39:00.703464-0400 kernel USB Sound assertion (Output Fell Behind) in /System/Volumes/Data/SWE/macOS/BuildRoots/5f3ad454b9/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppleUSBAudio/AppleUSBAudio-405.39/KEXT/AppleUSBAudioDevice.cpp at line 6704

"HALC_ProxyIOContext::IOWorkLoop: skipping cycle due to overload"

Any number of things from a bad cable to... another device on the same USB bus could be causing an overload.

I would start by checking the (mA) draw of the DAC and of the other USB device on that same USB bus.

To do that, go to Apple > About This Mac > System Report.. > USB in the Hardware section.
